“Only hate the road when you’re missing home” (Passengers – let her go)

Up to this day I never hated the road or was really homesick. So what does that say about me or my home? People may think I don’t have a home or feel comfortable at one place. Whenever I had this conversation with others I was wondering and trying to figure out where I feel home the most.

Then during my last (business) travel I had a random talk with a friend who is living in Rotterdam for the moment but comes from India. She said that she is really homesick and misses her family like crazy. She also said that going back home won’t be the same ever again. Because during her time in Europe she made a lot of new friends so this also feels like home now.

I understood at that moment the meaning of “Home is where your heart is“. If you travel a lot and meet people from all over the world, and when you leave pieces of your heart at a place or with other people it simply means that the world is your home. I am a Nomad, I leave pieces of my heart with so many amazing people and places so I define myself as a world citizen and the world is my home.

What does home mean for you and where is your home?
