The What!

Migrating to a new city can be a challenge. Such a drastic change can be tough for citizens moving alone.

This project aims to understand the different ethnic and social groups affected by the challenges migration brings and ways to provide a fulfilling sense of home.

Why is this an issue?

As someone who has experienced multiple city moves through my father's career and academic pursuits, I deeply understand the complexities of migration.

This passion project explores How we might support 23-27 year olds transitioning to new cities by addressing key challenges like isolation, lack of belongingness, and finding purpose—transforming the daunting experience of relocation into an opportunity for personal growth and connection.
