What feels like "home" to you (be it a place, a certain event, a certain situation)

For me, there are certain places where the atmosphere really feels right, like Deco Doug’s shop (art deco shop), driving through the Appalachian mountains or the hills of Kentucky in the rain or just after the rain in a kind of misty fog, certain coffee shops or record stores, the hills up in Northern Michigan, the old dirt back roads, being outside at night on the beach looking up at the stars. It might sound weird, but following train tracks, especially out in the middle of nowhere does something for me. There are also trails my girlfriend and I discovered up North. Certain houses and barns… sometimes you just end up somewhere, in a strange town, doing something you never imagined you might do and it feels right.. surreal almost, like you’re in a dream or a movie.
Recently, it was in an old saloon in Lexington, Michigan. It felt like home.

Laying on top of Alex – nothing else feels like home as much..
A few old towns in states I once had family living in.
On a long train journey, especially on a stormy night.
With a bike on the open road, warm sun, ice coffee in remote cafés, cold beer from beachside huts…
When I drove across the US by myself, I discovered that I only feel at home in places where there are toll roads.
If I’m with my best friend, though, anywhere can feel like home.
The cabins at Stokes States Forest where I have vacationed all my life.
Boca Raton, FL, and when I am at home where I live now outside of Memphis. I feel very comfortable and happy when I am in NYC and East Lansing, MI.
