Hey what does geographical background mean?

[4You__]

I’m taking a human geography class today is the first day and my professor asked what my geographical background is? I looked it up on google and couldn’t find direct answers -.-

I would guess the surrounding environment? Just like my historical background would be what I have experienced, the geographical background could be where I do/did live (ie. city/countryside, near or far nature, house or flat, flatland or mountains,...)?

Tho my deduction could be wrong.
