My migration history began when I came to Germany for the first time at the age of 16 as part of an exchange programme. During this period, I lived with two host families, which introduced me to the German culture and way of life. Over the years, I took part in various formats that brought me back to Germany, including an internship at the German Bundestag and a Master's degree. In 2016, however, I moved to Germany permanently, where I have lived ever since.
I see myself as a ‘circular migrant’ who feels strongly connected to both Germany and Albania. This dynamic has shaped my identity and I envision continuing to commute between these two countries, maintaining connections and contributing to both societies.
