Home on the Way
People need homes: children assume
their parents' place as home; boarders call
school
travelers
…
have no place
to call
So how about people who have to
travel for extended periods of time?
Don
’
t they
have
the right to a home? Of course they do.
Some
regular
travelers
take
their
own
belongings:
like
bed
sheets,
pillowcases
and family
photos to make them feel like home no matter where
they are; some stay
for long periods in
the same hotel and as a result become very
familiar with service
and
attendants;
others
may
simply
put
some
flowers
by
the
hotel
window
to
make
things
more
homely.
Furthermore,
driving
a
camping
car
during
one
’
s
travels
and
sleeping in the vehicle at night is
just like home
—
only mobile!
And
how
about
maintaining
relationships
while
in
transit?
Some
keep
contact
with their friends via Internet; some
send letters and postcards, or even photos; others
may just call and say hi, just to let
their friends know that they're still alive and
well.
People
find
ways
to
keep
in
touch.
Making
friends
on
the
way
helps
travelers
feel
more or less at home. Backpackers in
youth hostels may become very good
friends,
even closer than siblings.
Nowadays,
fewer
people
are
working
in
their
local
towns,
so
how
do
they
develop a sense of belonging? Whenever
we step out of our local boundaries, there is
always another
effort and
imagination, we can make the place we stay
