Hey Man! The story behind your name is probably the most interesting one that I have ever heard :-)
I know a part of it sounds fun but I also understand the seriousness behind it. When people ask 'where are you from?'. Most of the time they box us in a category the moment we tell them about it. For those of us who are free souls, being stereotyped is actually a painful feeling.
It is not that we do not love our birthplaces or our countries but it is more of a choice to be left alone and a way to let the world know to judge us on our our capabilities and not where we come from.
