I'm sure I'll return to this article throughout the years because my definition of home is a constant and shifting mosaic.

I really loved this collaboration, Rachel!

A great article and read and one close to my heart.

Quite often over the years, I wondered where home actually was until I finally realised that it could be in more than one place. There was something remarkable and comforting about that, especially with family on the other side of the world.

Yes, home could be multiple places! Or even no place at all. It is with whom that we make a place a home, even with oneself.

I remember as a child it used to give me anxiety when anyone asked me where I was from. I always admired my friends who could confidently belt out one country. So simple.

I hope you can now confidently belt out an answer, even if it meant several countries / heritage !

For sure! Sometimes I’ll just give them my citizenship and other times I’ll go into a detailed explanation. All depends how chatty I feel 😀
