This is our first night in Munich! We moved again, this time from Hamburg to Munich. We are staying at an AirBnB for two months now, hoping to find a good place very soon. While I was sitting on the train with Matilda today it dawned to me that we don't have a home at the moment. We don't have this place you open the door to and know the smell or every corner of it. Some of our stuff is sold again or on its way down to Munich to be stored away until we have found a place to live.
It seems there are all sorts of ideas of what 'home' is - The place you grew up, or live now as an independent person (however you like it). The place you own or lived longer than a certain amount of time, or the place you have all your stuff at - some like to think it is where the heart is or the people you love. I have to say, I haven't found the answer for this question myself yet...but I guess I like the idea that it gives you some sort of good & comforting feeling. The feeling where you can switch of, relax and being able give people blind orders to find something for you ...I don't know, I like the idea of having a home and it is what I am really looking to these days. A home where we can start routines again, find places for things where they should be, smell our home-cooked meals when we open the door and spend enough time at that we can see pot plants grow out of their pots in which they were first potted....
Wish us luck that we will soon find a good place for us to live - in order to make a home

Dear Maria, I really hope you will find the right place you will grow to love as home to your family very soon. So funny but I had a lowly person visiting from Munich yesterday and while she was in my shop came was my friend from Hamburg and so we all talked about places in Germany. And this morning I saw your post and somehow it all synced... Anyway I hope you will enjoy the early spring which I hope is not so far away where you are. Xx
I've been thinking about this topic a lot because I'm moving to Munich later this year and I want the house where we're living to feel like home. The other day we went room through room making a list of what would make us feel at home in each room, that was a pretty productive talk. Anyway, good luck finding a place.
Welcome in Munich!
I'll keep the fingers cross that you find a place worth it to call home!
Weather doesn't welcome you right now, but from your pics I assume you can find beauty in every setting. :-)
Best, Jen
good luck finding a prefect home Maria!
