My home away from home was my parents home when they were alive.

I used to feel comfortable at the companies I worked for. They were sort of “Home away from home” to me. Unfortunately I am unemployed now. However, no matter how strange it may seem, I felt at home when I visited Asigliano Vercelecci, a very small city in Italy, Province of Vercelli, Region of Piemont. My grandfather was borne there. Stranger than that was my feeling when I visited the cemetery (graveyard?) of that distant, silent and small city – in almost all the tombs (graves?) the surname was OLMO, my grandfather family surname: I felt an immense and intense peace, I could listen to my breath, I could hear the sounds of silence. Please, don’t call me “a mad woman”, I am not. At least, not yet. If I had the chance I would tell you how much I like to donate blood, not so much as a virtue (the love for humankind) but more for the pleasure of seeing all those machines and my blood flowing. OK, you are allowed to think I am a mad person, but be sure that Albert Einstein Hospital, Oswaldo Cruz Hospital and Hospital Sirio Libanês do not think so. They are always calling me to donate my precious blood every four months. I feel at home also in these hospitals. Kisses and hugs for you all.

Could be the river side, cause there’s used to be a river in my hometown. Though it is covered by huge building after urban development program.

I’m Spaniard of Valencia and I have always lived in this beautiful city. Is this a luck? I don’t know although I think so. Due to this I haven’t got a place as “home away from home”. But (there is always a but…), if there is a place where I feel myself as in my own home this place is La Palma, a little island of Canary Islands belonging to Spain. This is a place peaceful, warm and quiet, and all around are beautiful as much the land as the ocean. And the best of all is that my wife is agree with me. I’m happy for this and probably when I’m retired we’ll go to live there for a long period of time.
Greetings from my home.

I am living 8000 Km far away my home – expatriate worker- and i have found my home away from home here in México. It was hard first year to be living in a hotel, but as soon i could rent a house i was able to feel at home. Now, when i can spend some time at my own home in Spain (twice a couple of weeks per annum), sometimes i miss my place at México, so i really do not know which one is my “home away from home”.
