Where is "home"?

I was just thinking, is "home" the place where you were born, or is it a place found later in life where you feel completely comfortable? I think that a lot of people associate home with their birthplace, but I disagree. Nobody chooses to be born in a specific place. What if I absolutely hate winter but I was born in MN? Isn't it possible to go find a "home" somewhere warmer? I think that "home" is a place that each person has to find himself/herself, and for some, it may be the same place where they were born, but it does not have to be. I think that home can be somewhere very far away, and once you get there, you will know. It is possible to go to a place you never even thought existed and still feel at home. I have my own idea of what my "home-place" looks like. I imagine a busy place where people of all kinds are living together in harmony. I imagine cobble-stone streets with small shops and cafes where I can walk every day... and mountains in the horizon... When I try to have a complete picture in my head somehow it all gets distorted so I can't quite describe it but I feel that once I find that place, I will know :)

That is so funny! someone just asked me that last week. I said that I have various homes. The truth is that home is wherever mom and dad are at!!!
