A life of experiences.
Hi, I am Hayley and I was born in England, who then moved at 15 to Switzerland and then to Guernsey in the Chanel Islands and now am studying here. In terms of actual legality, I am not a permanent resident anywhere, so I refer to myself as homeless (jokingly) or a Nomad. Home is hard to define, I have had many, though I will always have two. The one where I am, and the one where my parents are. There is no way of combining the two, so I will forever have two homes and I love it this way.

It has to be interesting how you have knowledge of so many different cultures and areas in your life so far. I've lived in the same area for my entire life, but have experienced different areas because of hockey, but never been able to stay there for a long enough period of time to truly see what different places are like. Espcially coming to Maryland for college from Europe, I can only imagine the differences in culture.
ReplyDeleteHoly crap! Well this was definitely the most interesting blog I've read so far. I too have lived away from home since I was 15 for hockey so I can totally relate to you feeling like a nomad. Living all over Europe I'm sure you have seen so many different views of "home" and "culture".
ReplyDeleteI really like your definition of home and you seem to have a lot of worldly experience. I cant exactly say i relate to your situation but I sort of understand travel being that i play ice hockey
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool that you are from England. I really want to visit as many other countries as possible and I feel like England would be a great place to start.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jonathan - that is cool! I'd love to visit England some day, along with the rest of Europe as well.
ReplyDeleteYour definition of home is pretty relatable to me. I have also moved around a lot and i'm from a different country, and I agree home is where family is.
