Well, I'm from Kazakhstan, and I grew up in a city called Oskimin in the eastern part of the country. It's a place surrounded by mountains and rivers, so people there are quite connected to nature. Even though it's not a very large city, it has a calm atmosphere that I really appreciate, and living there shaped my love for my village. Especially the idea of staying close to family and being hardworking. Whenever I travel, I notice how different the lifestyle is elsewhere, so I'm always proud to talk about where I come from.
