My favourite part about travelling is returning home.

There's something about the familiarity, sameness, comforts and routine that I sadly miss when I'm away for more than a day or two.

Returning home isn't all roses.

I'm reminded how much my hometown fails to live up to its potential and falls short in many ways to make the city a safe and habitable place for its residents.

I truly believe that a person needs to love the place they live and support it in all of the ways they can. With that said, the same person cannot live with their head in the sand and refuse to recognize how far behind their hometown is in building a livable and world class environment.
