I guess I could take things from every place that I've been and find something familiar and wonderful about it that makes me feel like I'm at home.

There's nowhere like home for me, but there has been something so interesting about most of the places I've visited. One that sticks out in my mind is traveling around South America. It's a huge continent, and I only got to see a small portion of it, but I've always liked going there.
