“Before the exchange program, the world seemed much bigger, and certain opportunities felt out of reach. Driven by curiosity, I sought out this experience, which led me to technology events, startups, and new ecosystems around the globe. Now, the world feels more accessible, and I’ve realized that a thirst for knowledge can transform not only a career but also one’s entire outlook on life.”
