Target language: English

AyÅŸe is a young girl in her 20s. She has a pure beauty with her big brown eyes, her curly short hair and her slim body. When her determination, sense of responsibility and stubbornness cross paths with a foreign country, life makes her an angel who is ready to be hurt.

Hi cheesecake,
"...come across with the roads of a foreign country,"?

Could you explain that, please?

Hello lilian, actually I made word-by word translation so it gives the exact meaning of the original, but it might sound ridicilous in English, what do you think?
But the writer uses the word "roads" metaphorically.
I try to mean: when she goes another country, life will make her an angel because of her stubborn and responsible attitude. We can also say that ; when a foreign country and her stubborn attitude comes together, life makes her an angel.

I'm sorry cheesecake, but that got even more complicated
Let's ask for some help.

Girls, what do you think?

Wow - this is a tough one!

How about this:

When her determination, sense of responsibility and stubbornness cross paths with a foreign country,

or this one, which is a lot looser, but makes more sense:

When her determination, sense of responsibility and stubbornness are put to the test in a foreign country,

I think it would be easier to make a decision if we knew the purpose of the translation. If it's to sell a book, the 2nd choice might be better, as English-speaking readers would be sure to understand it (assuming that I understood the meaning of this phrase correctly).

kafetzou, I think the first one is more suitable.
