The Journey That Changed Everything
A mother, a daughter, and the long road from Bishkek to the Pilat hills. Every change that comes when you find yourself in another country feels extraordinary. You wake up more alert, more curious; your mind stretches in directions you never planned. Your social circle shifts, and with every shift you shift, too. You learn to adapt not once, but again and again — with every new person, every new document, every new street you must learn to pronounce. Even the water tastes different. The air moves differently across your face. Nothing is the same, and that is exactly what starts to change you.
