more context:

È nata sotto il segno del tormento e la data in cui è iniziata ad andare fuori mondo se la ricorda bene: aveva sette anni ed era affacciata al davanzale della vicina quando aveva visto il suo fratellino,

I am not sure how to render andare fuori mondo.

the day she first set foot into her other world...

Explanation:
I think by saying "HER other world", it makes it personal to her, which is the sense I get from the Italian. "outside of the world" or something literal on those lines, sets a different nuance in the English than I think the Italian is trying to imply.

"She remembers the day she first set foot into her other world very well..."
