I'm an American living in Australia who spent time in France. I grew up in New England and lived the majority of my adult life on the west coast of the US.
"home" is a concept that is easy for me to define: where my family is. When I was younger that meant parents. In my early 20s, that was friends and some closer family (brother). Now it is my wife and kids. With the Internet, skype, email, facebook and everything else, I can really stay connected to people around the world very easily so where I live is less and less important.
Goal of our family is actually to have a split life: Winters in Phoenix and Winters in Auckland, NZ. "Home" in that situation will likely be wherever we are sending the kids to school as that will probably be the majority time country, but we have yet to work out all those details :)
- kalleboo 16y agoThat doesn't really work for me - my parents left this country for Australia, and I've visited them but it sure doesn't feel like "home", it feels a lot more like home when they come visit me here in Sweden - so there's definitely something to say for environment playing a role.
