As for me, I lived in my birthplace for the first 9 (almost 10) years of my life before moving to where I live now. So, that's my hometown, the rest of my family still lives all around there and everything. But, as much as I hated growing up where I currently live, I can't deny the fact that this place has been my home for almost 20 years and I'm kinda going to miss it when I move back to the city in a couple months. I won't miss everything, just specific things that you can't get in the city. 😅
But what about you guys? Is there a particular place that you call "home"?
My home is a pretty unique place: New Orleans. There are a few places I'd compare it to that I've visited: Paris, San Francisco, New York City. Chicago is a distant fourth.
New Orleans is a little city, but it has features of places that are much bigger and grander, likely because it's a port city and it's been around 300 years. It has Afro-Euro-Native American roots, so people here are interesting ethnic mixes, and I've lived elsewhere and have always felt those Midwestern towns wanting and usually fairly dull. Can't say that for New York or San Francisco or Paris.
And I felt immediately at home in the former top three cities. I haven't been to Montreal or Quebec City, which I've heard are great towns, or L. A., or Portland. Las Vegas is awfully fake and nondescript: a made up city to bilk cash out of people with no ostensible return.
I only visited D. C. and Philadelphia as a young child. Same with Dallas and Houston. I've heard Albuquerque is decent and Berlin and Vienna. I need to hit the lottery so I can see some of these places!!! Maybe one of them might be my second home!

I feel home when I’m comfortable, even the hospital felt like home because it was clean and had beautiful hospital gardens near by. I feel at home in most hotels and motels and hostels I visit, as well as in my uncles houses but I don’t like China cause the heat makes me uncomfortable.
mostly two... the place I grew up in Texas, as well as the place I grew up in Mexico, because these happened simultaneously for years and year, both feel like home to me, and they really are...
then there was also a third place I had for my own, later in life, youth and adulthood... all three are in the same region so it doesn't really feel that apart at all... they all feel like home to me, there's roots... and despite the many changes from 30 and even 20 years ago, there's always a nice sense of familiarity
I live in my birth county. I call my state home, my county home and even my city home but ultimately its where I sleep is my home. Prior to retirement working DOD home was on a constant move and when I mean constant I could not grantee where I would be that night and hell work was 24/7/365 so night did not mean time off. I loved it and wish every day I could still be doing it! Home can be anywhere and in anything!
"Home is wherever a lay my hat is my home" Rings very true to me!

One home and just moved here last year after being in one place for 35 years. It’s 😊 I like where I’m at and consider myself very fortunate. When I’m down I think about how good I have it.
Keep in mind a good portion of Pakistan was just wiped out by floods as was Afghanistan not to mention Ukraine areas are not gmhabitable. We’ve got it really good if there is security and food and water.Just one place, Monongahela Pennsylvania in the USA a small city with a population little over 4000 but where I live there is local Transportation such as Bus Service that you can take and go to downtown Pittsburgh Pa , Charleroi Pa, Donora Pa, Finleyville Pa, New Eagle Pa, etc.
I call the city I'm living in right now my hometown, even tho I wasn't born here, but I'm living here since 19 years now and I feel so comfortable in this city, so yeah and home is the apartment I'm living in currently
Since I move often cuz of the military I consider home is where I was raised/where my parents live even tho I haven't lived there in 7 years and have lived in 3 different states since then that's just like my actual home.
The east bay area in the 90’s and early 2000’s was really home to me like i get nostalgic even thinking about it. It’s feels like a shitty combination of LA and Seattle now tho and not like home at all. I lived in reno for a while too but even though i still have some friends there i feel no attachment to it at all, it’s a dump lol
Just two... My parents home, and the one I've helped to make and share with my husband, our little boy and "Bump".
I lived in 7 houses / apartments throughout my lifetime. 2 of them were in the same building though. The last 3 of them can feel like my home.
I have 2. Of course my home and my home away from home, Which I would say as far as size is inbetween a shed and garage. Supershed. Anyway I have a futon, LED lights, full workbench, ribcooker, shelves, etc. It's a nice chill spot when I'm grilling or waiting for my firepit in the backyard to get going.
Two...
My dad's house where I lived for over 10 years until he passed away last year.
Then my own place.
IOWA will always be my home sweet home.
https://www.youtube.com/embed/Gmrh42foUsgI've lived in Milwaukee for 37 years, but hopefully someday I will move to a warmer state.
Just one BeeBella, even though I haven't lived there in 25 years.
I used to have a home but what kind of home is a home when its inhabited by toxic relatives? Not to mention they moved to another country and took me with them. Then i felt like i have no home but a roof with abusers.
Took me long enough to move out and live alone. I felt kind of nomadic as a migrant. Right now i am a free spirit doing as i please back in my homeland in Europe.
I'm still looking for a place to call "home". I didn't grow up in my country and I hate the country where I live. So I'm struggling to find a place where I feel comfortable and happy.
Wherever my wife and I are living. I'm mostly an "anywhere" person -- I enjoyed Dallas, I'm enjoying Seattle, and I could be happy in many other major cities and a few smaller ones.
I have a primary residence but also a summer home.
This summer I moved back to the town I grew up in. But a lot of the people I knew are gone, or I've just lost touch with.
