Home is where my loves ones are.....we go to a point that we call home the hotel room we stay when we are travelling. Home is not about places, it's about people... Reply to this

As stupid as it sounds 'home' to me isn't where I live or even where I or my family come from. Its thousands of miles away in Queensland, Australia. The first time I visited Australia, I felt like I had finally found my place in the world and was truly happy for the first time in years. It's also where my best friends in the world live and its a place where I feel so comfortable and at home. Due to circumstances, as much as we as we would love to move over there, we can't, so I make do with visiting Australia once a year. Reply to this

I agree Cookiek, home doesn't have to be where you live or where your family is from. For me home is the north coast of Cornwall, the beaches are fantastic and the lifestyle is so laid back. Reply to this

I certainly feel like I belong in Europe. I love to travel, but I feel at home in Europe. I especially feel like I belong in the Central European countries. They are not perfect, but I like the calm, logical tendencies of them. I suppose that is one thing that attracted me to living in Germany.

I think one of the downsides of so much travel is that my heart is now split into several chunks - and separated out across four continents... anyone else get this feeling? Reply to this

.......anyone else get this feeling?


I sometimes get the feeling that I would like to divide myself into 10 or 100 so I could be in all the places I miss and all the places I want to visit and be at home with my boyfriend and daughter all at the same time. This is how my cooking hobby started. I decided that I am going to learn to cook exotic things. If I couldnt be in several countries all at once, at least I could get to taste several in just one week. 😊

I can no longer just sit in someplace and be there. My mind wanders to several other places. I can still remember when I was a teen, just before the travelling started, when all of my mind was where the rest of me was.

Home will always be England! I find myself to be so typically English as much as I am so disheartened finishing a trip it is always nice to be back in my familiar England, with queueing and grumbling and apple and blackcurrant squash!

But I do find where ever I am sleeping I will call "home". So a camper van instantly becomes "home", as does the hostel, or the hotel, or the tent. Regardless of how long I am staying there be it one night or several I find myself saying "when we get home"... So...home is where ever I lay my head!

Home is where my family and friends are; a place I always think about wherever I am ... but i got top 4 "homes" in my head right now: #4. england - where i spent 6 weeks of training for work (fell inlove with this place), #3.manila - where i've been working for almost three years now, #2.leyte - where i spent my college days, #1.eastern samar - where i was born and raised ... a big chunk of my heart will always stay here ...

"anyone else get this feeling?"




Yes! I wish we had more lifetime!! It seems to be one of the most difficult things about traveling, your mind your heart...they're never the same...Hmm I wonder whats more difficult, the curiosity of being wanderlust or the nostalgia of leaving home? Reply to this
