At Home at Last
Friday, November 14th, 2008I have moved five times in the past year and a half. Why, you ask? To find that place that is warm and cozy enough to call home. While home will always be the house I grew up in in Mystic, Conn., that house belongs to my parents. I have been in search of that place that feels comfortable enough to call my own.
You would think since I have such a passion for travel that home wouldn’t have such meaning to me, but after those trips abroad it is always nice to come to a place where you find comfort. I find so much happiness in traveling to new destinations and experiencing new cultures that I feel all of those places are my second home. I am just looking for the first one.
I have been all over the place since I graduated and left my college town of Burlington, Vt. Well, I have been all over the palce while being in only two different places, my hometown in Connecticut and New Jersey. Why Jersey? I fell in love, and love can take you to a million different places.
Some people think I am crazy because I have had six jobs in the past year and lived in four different apartments, but I am not willing to settle until I feel right at home. And recently I have. With a great new job here at Global Traveler and an apartment just big enough to fit my belongings, I can finally say I feel at home. While the world is my vacation house, there really is no place like home.
