Today is a special day for me. A day like today in 2016, I landed in Australia 🌏 specifically in Geelong Victoria, feeling like I won the lottery after working so hard to obtain my skilled independent visa 189, which was not an easy thing to do back in the days with the political and economical situation in my home country Venezuela. 8 years have passed and Australia is home now and only another immigrant can really understand how challenging it can be to move 18000 km away from home, alone and with only one bag, well actually two: one with clothes and the other one with dreams and hopes. Dreams which most of them are a reality now, while I keep working on the rest of them. As my name suggests, I have Lebanese 🇱🇧roots and luckily I was born in Venezuela 🇻🇪, a country full of joy and also I am Australian 🇦🇺 too, but above all I think of myself as a citizen of the world 🌎. A world that today feels like has more borders than ever but at the end of the day we all have more things in common than the differences that could divide us. "We can only be as great as our circumstances demand"
