“More than anything I hope that this book resonates with you. And I can only hope that you will take away a sound belief that if you’re searching for where you belong you always have a home within yourself.

Much like a painter might consider what to do with a blank canvas, or a gardener with a blank space in the backyard, a vagabond looks upon the world as a field of potential and possibility, where beauty can be not just found but created, and adventure awaits any and all who are willing to seek it out.”
― Tim Curry, Vagabond

“Suchi knew now that home wasn't a place. It wasn't moments that could be pinned down. It was people, people who share the same ghosts as you, folks long gone, places long disappeared.

― Karissa Chen, Homeseeking
