"I Am At Home Everywhere And Nowhere. I Am Never A Stranger, Yet I Never Quite Belong"

Abstract

When asked where I am from, I tend to hesitate in responding. I do not know where I am from nor do I think I am alone in this situation. I was born in Lebanon, grew up in Switzerland, and pursued my college education in the United States. Although I lived abroad, I was lucky in that I still had the opportunity to return to Lebanon regularly for holidays. This is the first time since I was seven, that I have spent more than four weeks in my 'home' country.
