People need homes:Children assume their parents' place as home; boarders call school "home" on weekdays;married couples work together to build new homes;and travelers... have no place to call "home",at least for a few nights. 1       Don't they have the right to a home? Of course they do.

Some regular travelers take their own belongings like bed sheets,pillowcases and family photos to make them feel like home no matter where they are; some stay for long periods in the same hotel and as a result become very familiar with the service and attendants;2       Furthermore,driving a camping car during one's travel and sleeping in the vehicle at night is just like home.

And how about keeping relationships while in transit3      ;some send letters and postcards,or even photos;others may just call and say hi,just to let their friends know that they're still alive and well. People find ways to keep in touch. Making friends on the way helps travelers feel more or less at home. 4       Nowadays,fewer people are working in their local towns,so how do they develop a sense of belonging? Whenever we step out of our local boundaries,there is always another "home" waiting to be found.5      ,we can make the place we stay "home".
