I definitely believe that who you are has something to do with where you are from but it isn't the only thing that defines you as a person. Everything in your life helps define who you are: location, friends, family, upbringing, education, life events, etc. One thing alone cannot define you because everything helps mix together to create you and everything that you consist of: emotions, physical appearance, ways and means of thinking, habits, etc.
A place can shape your identity, sense of self, and relation to the larger world. It influences your habits and how you adapt to certain customs and can really have an impact on who you are because of how you grew up in a certain environment.
I don't really know how to give examples but I think you can get a sense of where I'm coming from. (Ha! Get it?!)
