I completely agree. Now I’ve lived in a combination of Seattle, Spain, and London for my “adult” life – completely understand how you feel. I think Marcelo put it best, but it’s tough feeling torn over where “home” is. I’m struggling with the same thing myself. Always missing places I’ve been and not knowing exactly where “home” is..

The great advantage of being a citizen of the world is that mentally you can always have the approach of a traveller – live fearlessly, seeking opportunity relentlessly, taking full advantage of your surroundings.Being that I’m a glass half full kind of person….let me try to put a new spin on this realization for you 🙂  

Moving throughout the years has shown me that the second a place becomes “home”, I am less open to venturing out and trying new places, going out to make new friends, and living on the edge of comfort. I settle into daily rhythms that, although comforting, close my world to serendipity and new experiences. Being a nomad can be magical – you are now in a state of complete openness, one that is likely to create a broader and richer set of experiences than if you had stayed in one place forever.

A citizen of the world is when you lived in more than one place, and enjoyed both of them. No matter what you’ll never find any place to be the “perfect” place anymore. There always will be something missing, here and there and everywhere. It’s as joyful a moment as it’s sad. It makes you happy, but you always miss “home” on your heart. Except there is no “home” anymore, or “home” is everywhere.
