From where I come from

I know I will get owned in my testimonials/recommendations and I'm making no bones about it. It's a fact that most people never get to know who I am (including me?). Again, I wonder what I would be in a different environment - less constrained perhaps? It's just so hard connecting with most people in my area, what more people from a far far away land (or people who seem to be)? Maybe studying abroad might not be so wise afterall, and after this, not so plausible at all. Where am I comfortable then?

[edit]
Ah, I think I might know. (and mind you this edit is NOT in reference to the previous post please!)
