A Home Away from Home, Day 128

It's funny how you can be so far away from home but yet one place can make you easily forget this. Earlier this week Samantha and I went to Ikea, and for half an hour everything felt so familiar. Ikea is just one of those places that stays the same wherever you go (it even smelt the same!!) and there is something so comforting about this. Maybe that's the key to travelling-finding that person to travel with who is a source of comfort or visiting a store along the way that signifies home in some way. I think I would be a bit lost if I could never find a place while I was travelling that somehow connected me to Toronto....thank goodness for Ikea is all I have to say!

I can NOT believe how quickly this trip is going-it's really quite scary. I am really happy with all of the things I've done (and learnt) so far, and can't wait for the warm months ahead-they are going to bring lots more adventures!
