The quote “Home is not a place, it’s a feeling” is often attributed to Cecelia Ahern, an Irish author, although no definitive source in her published work confirms this exact wording. It may be paraphrased or commonly misattributed.
Somewhere along the road, between one stop and the next, you start to realise something: home isn’t always four walls and a roof. It can be the sound of laughter around a campfire, the warmth of a shared meal with strangers who become friends, or the peace of watching the sunrise from your sleeping bag.
For those who travel slowly – with a backpack, by thumb, by train, or by foot – home becomes something you carry inside. It’s a feeling that finds you in unexpected places: in the silence of a forest, the chaos of a market, or the quiet nod of understanding in a language you barely speak.
