My name is Marina Stojanovic and as my first slide shows I was born in Mostar, one of the main cities in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is famous for being the home to the Unesco heritage, Old Bridge of Mostar. Leading into my second slide, I only lived in Bosnia for 4 years and then my journey began, which is represented by the world map. Because of my mother’s job, my family and I move to a new country every three to four years. This has allowed me to visit and experience places like Berlin and Vienna and now New York City. It has given me the opportunity to meet people from all over the world as well as learn about different cultures. This lifestyle has made me a very adventurous person. I love the thrill of getting on scary rollercoasters,  skiing down steep mountains, parasailing, and just doing things that push me out of my comfort zone. Traveling has also introduced me to many different types of cuisine, which resulted in me loving sushi so much that I wouldn’t mind eating it every day for the rest of my life. Growing up, fashion has been one of my biggest passions. I have always enjoyed flipping through magazines and being inspired by designers’ works, creating my own style, and even sewing a few of my own pieces. Being involved in so many different areas and learning about new cultures has taught me to always keep an open mind. I believe that it’s crucial to be open-minded in order to experience the world to its fullest. Lastly, one of my biggest goals in life, no matter what I end up doing, is to make the world a better place in any possible way.
