What is Home?

About residing, living, leaving and arriving

At grandma's you can eat on the sofa, at your best friend's everyone plays in the kitchen and your cousin has two rooms, one at each parent’s place. Every child knows that homes can be very different. What defines them are familiar smells and sounds, familiar language or small rituals.
What about people who don't have a permanent home? Who have to or want to leave their home? Can you choose where you live? And how does one begin to feel at home there?
