In reply to Kristin of Be My Travel Muse. Kristin, home is such a strange concept for me these days... Right now, I'm just so happy to wander and explore. That may change, and I may find myself wanting a place to hang my hat, but for now it feels wonderful to be able to wander.

In reply to Tracey – Life Changing Year.

Tracey – Australia’s such a beautiful place. We’re actually thinking of taking our kiddos and driving down the west coast, as we missed that side of the country on our first visit.

i love your look at life micki. my turn to tell you how lovely your ways to expressing, finding the right mix of hammock, desert and tree to express who/where/why this is home right now. barefoot feet take you home, i like, i like a lot.

For us home will always be Australia. Unfortunately after just a year away I don’t think I fit in any more! Time will tell I guess whether we settle in or set off to find a different “home”!

I’ve been giving a lot of thought to this very question. I think my answer is I’m still searching for it. It’s not the place I left, where I packed up all my things and promised myself I wouldn’t return for a while. I know that much for sure.

Susan, thanks so much for coming by and the kind words. Funny, I’ve been listening to the Rusted Root song for years, and never noticed – it does sound EXACTLY like the Talking Heads, doesn’t it?

In reply to Venkat Ganesh @ India Backpack Motorbike.

Venkat – Those are such great questions. The more I travel, the more I see that the concept of countries is such a flimsy one – a country is often an arbitrary political thing, created by politicians and borders. People and culture are so much more fluid and interesting than any line drawn on a map.

In reply to Rachel Denning. I hope so too! I think our kiddos would have a blast hanging out together.

So exciting for you all as family to have a “home” like you do. Wonderful post. I love all the photos too. So enticing. And I thought that song was by “The Talking Heads” all these years. They sound just like David Byrne!

As someone who’s only started travelling indefinitely over the past year I have already started having some questions similar to your’s. Another intense debate that goes on in my head is what makes a person an Englishman or a Turk or Thai or an Indian for that matter. Although I have never stepped out of India, with the amount of diversity it offer, I really question whether someone can be called Indian for that matter. May be these questions will remain unanswered. But that should not stop one from having all the fun possible.

That waterfall picture is a heart stealer!
