Home on the Way
People need homes: children their parents' place as home; call school "home" on weekdays; married couples work together to build new homes; and travelers … have no place to call "home", for a few nights. So how about people who have to travel for _ periods of time? Don’t they have the right to a home? Of course they do.
Some regular travelers take their own : like bed sheets, pillowcases and family photos to make them feel like home they are; some stay for long periods in the same hotel and become very familiar with service and attendants; others may put some flowers by the hotel window to make things more homely. , driving a camping car during one’s travels and sleeping in the vehicle at night is just like home -- only !
And how about maintaining relationships while in ? Some keep 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 and well. People find ways to keep in touch. Making friends on the way helps travelers feel at home. Backpackers in youthhostelsmay become very good friends, closer than siblings.
Nowadays, people are working in their local towns, so how do they develop a of belonging? Whenever we our local boundaries, there is always another "home" waiting . Wherever we are, with just a little bit of effort and , we can make the place we stay "home".
