For the longest time I thought I wanted to travel the world and move from country to country “experiencing” things, but then I found myself in India reading a book on a rooftop with and not really wanting to do anything else, and I thought, Did I really come all the way to India just to read a book? I could be doing this at home. Ever since then, much like you said, the appeal of traveling has lost its luster. If I hadn’t have done it though, I don’t think I’d be able to say that. Also, possibly similar to you, I had to come to another country in order to plant roots and feeling comfortable with living a “regular” life.

Well, it seems you found "your spot" in Japan... I found mine in the US Pacific Northwest, many thousands of miles from Denmark. Ironically, this part of the US is much "like Denmark, only with a better view," because there are mountains here. Evidently, I'm not alone. The Puget Sound region has the greatest concentration of Scandinavians in the US, other than Minnesota.
That’s interesting. I wonder what the original impetus was that pulled a group of Scandinavian to that area was (if there was one).
I feel the same way about the city I live in. It is much like my hometown, but better because of the mountains.
