Do You Know Places that Say: Welcome and Stay?
When I visit a new place, I make sure it will help me find some new places in me. — Amol Gade
Have you ever arrived in a place that welcomed you so lovingly and unprepared that you immediately felt at home?
I moved to a new city years ago. With my toddler I went to the nearest playground and let her explore the space.
A moment later, I don’t even know how, I was sitting on a trampoline and three younger girls were admiring and braiding my hair, while my child was running around so happy and cheerful.
I immediately felt relaxed and finally arrived. A moment that spread so much warmth, familiarity and carefree that I always like to remember it.
And I still live in this place.
