Five and a half years ago, I left Chile, the country where I was born, and made the decision to live on the other side of the world.
I filled three suitcases to the brim, said goodbye to my family and friends, cried a lot and had the feeling in the pit of my stomach that I was about to start something truly amazing.

I’ve lived and experienced so much in these five and a half years that it’s difficult to look back and feel completely home there, or here, or anywhere; different parts of me are in different places, and sometimes it becomes very hard to call only one of them ‘home”.
Parts of me are in my birth country, some are here, others are with my friends who live all over the world and some are just where I stand right now.

A few days ago, I came across this TED Talk and completely identified with it: What is home? Where? When?
Maybe there is not simply one home for everyone, not anymore.
