But for just as many, such boundaries no longer signify anything. Sascha Pichler, 27, was born in Salzburg, Austria to parents of Austrian, Czech, Russian and Serb descent. She spent her childhood in Malaysia, the U.S., Portugal and Germany. After earning degrees from Oxford and the London School of Economics, she moved to Brussels.
