And if travel is like love, it is,
in the end, mostly because
it's a heightened state of
awareness, in which we are
mindful, receptive,
undimmed by familiarity
and ready to be
transformed. That is why
the best trips, like the best
love affairs, never really
end. - Pico lyer
As a geographer, I have always wondered about the nature of home and our sense of place since I was a young girl. I travel, I love my homes, and I love creating a sense of home wherever I travel. And I love finding what creates a sense of home in the places I visit and stay. So that’s what these essays are about: finding places, finding a sense of place, and how we fit into our world as we move and others move around us. I hope you will stay and read and comment and add your own observations and musings.
Let’s get started!
