connection

If I have a hometown, it would be Sydney or maybe Wollongong. I have lived in and around Sydney and Wollongong my whole life since I was 4, apart from an 8 month stay in Hong Kong.

As I travel through these cities, I pass through a whole series of places that I have very strong memories about - different places I have worked or lived in or where my friends have lived. The trip I'm on links very different parts of my life.

It's like the kind of triangulation that happens with learning. You learn about some historic figure or phenomenon when you're learning about one subject and then you encounter the same key figures and developments in a completely different subject, and it enriches your knowledge of all of it.
