For me, “home” isn’t strictly tied to a specific geographical location. Rather, it’s a state of mind and a feeling of belonging. It’s about feeling at ease, comfortable to be myself, accepted, and part of the community. It’s true that some places made me feel more this than others, but it was more about the people I met and the experiences and connections I had there, rather than the physical location per se. In my quest of finding a home as a digital nomad, I’ve learned this: Home is where your heart is happy, your mind at peace, and your spirit free. So I would say, rather than looking for a specific place, cultivate these feelings and you’ll always feel at home.

The area I was born in.

I imagine that will probably be true for most people.

Nepal

Brazil. It’s almost as if friendliness is ingrained into their accent!

Vietnam. Cities of this country are so different. I like local people so much, I like the culture, I like Airbnb hosts, I like the way Ho Chi Minh City develops, I like luxury beach Nha Trang city and so on

Still searching 😂

China ,

Graduated from university ,

and probably spent the best years of my life in Beijing

When I was younger it was Florida, but honestly, now it’s being alone at the house w the dog and being online. Once you pass a certain point in life every where is the exact same with like 3 variations. Big city, rural country side, and average towns. Find somewhere that financially works for you in the long term, because in the end it’s all the same. You’ve gotta find that “home” feeling in yourself, not around you

London- felt right at home, as soon as I exited the airport. It was like I’d been there before.

How about you OP?

Copenhagen for me, first time there I just sensed it pretty quickly, amazing how it happens

Lithuania and Netherlands.

Mazatlan, Mexico, best place I’ve ever lived.

I really dislike when people ask me where I’m from. I’m not “from” anywhere. I was born in the UK, family immigrated to Canada when I was a child. I married an American and lived in Florida for a long time. Went back to Canada for a couple of years and was miserable. Came to Mexico in 2014.

I’ve been learning Spanish since I arrived in Mexico and it’s pretty good. I’m more comfortable in Mexico than I ever was in Canada or the US. I’ve only been back to visit my family twice in 9 years and whenever I’m there I just want to be back in Mexico.

Imsouarne in Morocco.

Ballz deep in the chick I met on the “free tour” of the local sites.
