where to start and where I call home.

Hello there stranger!

This is the first post and like with any other firsts, I am not sure where to start.
I see this somewhat as meeting new people, like introducing myself in front of a group of new faces. Which also means that introducing myself with my name and trying to make a good first impression is probably where I should begin.
So, my name is Magda and I'm just like your any ordinary girl. Although I guess that does not create a good first impression. In this case, imagine myself as a girl next door. Fun, sweet, innocent.. and modest of course :)
I'm originally from Poland although it has been quite a while now since I have moved to the UK, a little too long even maybe. This is where my life is now, and this is definitely where I call home.
Which actually brings me onto a topic which has been on my lips a lot during the past few days as I am actually on holiday in Poland at the moment. Me and my little sister Gabby have travelled to Poland mainly for the wedding of our cousin. While on the coach travelling from Warsaw to Bialystok (a beautiful city where I was born) I was about to write a Facebook status, and then it struck me. The question. Have I just arrived on holiday, or at home? When talking about it before travelling I would tell my friends I was going back home, although now that I am actually here it does not quite feel like it. There is a different feel to it and I definitely do not feel like I am on some really relaxing holiday, but it also doesn't feel like home. The busy schedules and visiting every relative you can remember the address of makes it a little more hectic than what I imagine a real holiday to be. In fact today, on my 5th day here, I am actually starting to feel a little homesick. I miss my mum and dad, my boyfriend and my friends, and even though I have familiar faces surrounding me here, it does not feel the same.
I could dwell on this subject for hours, looking at all the 'for' and 'against' but I think I have a very simple answer. Home is where the heart is! :)
I wonder if anyone else is in the same situation as me. Anyone else feeling like they don't have a place they can 100% call home, or maybe you have two? I'd love to find out! It would be nice to not feel alone in this situation!

Greetings from beautiful Bialystok, Poland!
until next time xo.
