Hi everyone, I am a state horse rider. I compete in dressage competitions all over Australia. Home for me is with my loved ones and where my passion is. For me this is with my horses, on the farm with my family in the Adelaide Hills doing what I love.

Hello, I have struggled a lot with this week question ( I have written and deleted many answers). I am from France but I do not think of myself as French but now I am in Australia, I am often reduced to that: being French and the clichés associated with it. Personally, I think I am the result of an incredible mix of influences: the places I have been, the people I have met, my ancestors' history (nomadism, diasporas, activism wether social or politic  and so on...), my own sensibilities...One thing I know is that I am at my most peaceful and relaxed state when I am in the mountains. The political country does not matter, the altitude does.
Cheers

I could say home to me is Adelaide, because I've always lived here. But honestly to me, home is where my loved ones are. Home is the place where I feel I belong and feel comfortable. Home isn't so much a location, but more the relationships that make you feel settled.

All my life I've lived between Adelaide and the Yorke Peninsula, and although I've spent more time in metro Adelaide, I feel much closer to the latter. Home is somewhere I feel comfortable, which isn't always where I reside majority of the time. Culturally, I feel confident in saying I am Australian, although because both my parents are adopted and have no way of knowing their birth parents' histories, I always wonder if there are deeper explanations when my culture is questioned.

I think the process of a new place becoming home is interesting. Some of you have alluded to that - that process of familiarity, getting used to  different ways of doing things. Often these are necessary things like where to catch the bus, where you do your shopping, and, if you move to a different part of the world, getting used to the different seasons, different sounds, different smells. You absorb all these things, they become part of youand you evolve or adapt.

Home for me is originally on the Eyre Peninsula, however, the past year and a half have seen Adelaide gradually become home to me with the new relationships and bonds that I have formed here.

I lived the first 24 years of my life growing up in Melbourne, but then moved to Adelaide to be with my partner. it was remarkably easy, so I guess for me home is where ever my loved ones are.

Home has been about 15 different places in the last 20 years, its all very tenuous, I guess more and more my identity is defined by relationships with the people close to me and the things that I do rather than where I grew up.

Home to me is not a place, but rather the people I know and relationships I have that make me feel as though I belong. My cultural identity (Australian/English) influences my lifestyle more than my identity.

Shedding skin: I posted this just to see if I could and to get you all thinking about possibilities. It could say something about me but I'm not sure what. Stephen
