HOME AWAY FROM HOME

So what do you really know about me? Really? Not much I bet… Well one thing is that I’ve never really felt at home here. What?! You say. Yes I was born in the UK, England, London, West London, Ladbroke Grove and I love my area, but…

I grew up with just my mum and yeah I had friends but I was a really solitary creature. It’s what makes me, me. Keeps me driven and single minded. So where do I feel at home? They say home is not only where you are but where you’d like to be. So where is that for me?

Well little bits of America, where I have friends and family… LA, ARIZONA, NYC (My cousins are standing behind Eve in my movie 4321)

But the place I feel most at home, the place I’ve been 19 times, where my family – 4 aunts, 10 cousins and grandmother all live is Brampton (not far from Toronto) Ontario, CANADA. That’s where feels like home to me and maybe one day I’ll want to settle there, I haven’t decided yet.

I love the people, the city, the food, the vibe, the fact that you can drive to New York in 8 hours, summer is hot and winter is cold. And it’s busy enough to feel like a major city but quiet and big enough that you feel you have space.

I don’t work for their tourist board, but honestly if you’ve never been out there and want to chill out on holiday then you should go, and if I’m there too, come say hello.
