"When in doubt, get on a plane and go somewhere. When there, try to learn everything you can about the place and try like anything to be one of them--operating instructions for a travelling human.
What I did not know how to do was stay in one place, make friends that I would grow with, and become part of a community. Looking back, I wonder if I had a choice. This was all I knew." Anora Egan, (Uprooted Childhoods p. 216)
