Annabelle is curious to understand who she becomes when the familiar pillars of her identity fall away. Growing up in a world where politics, religion, and class felt fixed has made her wonder how her convictions might shift in entirely different settings. She hopes that stepping into cultures and climates far different from her own will challenge her assumptions and reveal new parts of herself. She plans to travel through Morocco, Algeria, India, Thailand, Vietnam, and Japan, exploring how each place reshapes her sense of self and the values she carries.
