About Sana

Hello everyone. I’m Sana ^-^ from Rawalpindi, Pakistan, and I’m currently embarking on an exciting chapter of my life. For the past eight months, I’ve been living in Berlin, Germany, pursuing my second master’s degree in International Relations and Cultural Diplomacy at Hochschule Furtwangen University in partnership with the Academy for Cultural Diplomacy in Berlin. This is my first experience living independently away from my family and hometown, and I’m eager to share my journey with you.

Having previously completed a bachelor’s in Mass Media and Communication and a master’s in Media and Communication, my academic journey has always been driven by a passion for understanding global dynamics and cultural exchange. Moving to Berlin to further my studies has been a dream come true, yet it has also come with its own set of challenges and triumphs.
Living independently in a new country is no small feat. Leaving behind the familiar comforts of my home in Rawalpindi and stepping into the vibrant, bustling environment of Berlin has been both exhilarating and daunting. From navigating the city’s public transportation system to managing daily tasks like grocery shopping and cooking, every aspect of daily life here is a new learning experience.

Berlin itself has been nothing short of enchanting. The city’s rich history, diverse culture, and dynamic atmosphere have captivated me. I’ve explored historic landmarks, enjoyed the diverse culinary scene, and met people from all corners of the world. These experiences have not only broadened my horizons but have also made me fall in love with this city. One of the most significant aspects of this journey has been the opportunity to become completely independent. The challenges I’ve faced have pushed me to grow in ways I never anticipated. From figuring out how to manage finances to learning how to balance academic responsibilities with personal life, every step has contributed to my personal development.

My goal is to fully embrace this experience, make Berlin my home away from home, and achieve my academic and professional aspirations. I’m excited to share my struggles and successes with you all, hoping that my experiences can offer insight and inspiration to others who might be on a similar path.

Stay tuned for more updates on my journey, as I continue to explore Germany starting with the Berlin, navigate my studies, and reflect on what it means to live independently in a new country. I’m looking forward to sharing more about this incredible adventure and connecting with fellow dreamers and explorers along the way.

Thank you for joining me on this journey!
