Background - Tradução em português

Hello everyone,

Could you help me please ?

Nao entendi o background Nessa frase :

I'm really interested in Asia and Asian cultures, and since it's really far from my background, I really want to get to know better all those cultures. And since for many western people are quite the same, I really want to find out those differences. And that's why I chose Taiwan.

Muito obrigada!
