Life On Tour [Part III]

My Tokyo home!

My Tokyo home!

Life On tour...sounds great, 'cause you travel, perform in different theaters, go out to eat, go shopping, stay in a hotel room and all that jazz, but how long can you live like that?...

Another day, another Home…I mean Hotel

Traveling as much as I do you would find yourself in constant need of a place to call HOME.   For the past 4 years I have toured about 10 months out of each year so I used to say: â€oewhatâ€<sup>TM</sup>s the point in paying a monthly rent of a place I donâ€<sup>TM</sup>t sleep in? , thatâ€<sup>TM</sup>s why when people ask me: where do you live? ...I respond in my Suitcase! witch is followed by a short forced laughter and the explanation of my On Tour Life resumed.  
   We all have those: I canâ€<sup>TM</sup>t wait to get home tonight…  moments, well I personally call HOME wherever I am right now, imagine the anxiety and desperation you would have if after a bad day youâ€<sup>TM</sup>d have to wait about 2 months to come back home…I save my self all that frustration by adopting each place I go as mine otherwise I suffer a lot and end up feeling HOMESICK.  
Well, now is different, after 4 years of all that constant change I am in need of My Place.  In Argentina I have the apartment I used to share with my mom, but to me thatâ€<sup>TM</sup>s my momâ€<sup>TM</sup>s apartment, and every time I go back she tries very hard to make me feel like that is my apartment as well, but is not the same.   A very good friend told me that his house is my house as long as I want it to be, and I appreciate such warm welcoming, still is not my space, so I am seriously considering to rent a place even if I donâ€<sup>TM</sup>t sleep on it all the time, and still adopting every Hotel Room as a Temporary Home but knowing that I belong somewhere and I do have somewhere to come back to…HOME.
