Around The World In Search Of Home: A Journey of Self-Discovery

Imagine leaving everything you know behind, packing your bags, and embarking on a journey around the world in search of a place to call home. This is the adventure of a lifetime, where one seeks to find not only a physical address but also a sense of belonging. Join us as we explore different cultures, landscapes, and people in our quest to uncover the meaning of home.

Chapter 1: Leaving It All Behind

The decision to leave our comfort zone and venture into the unknown is not an easy one. As we bid farewell to our friends, family, and familiar surroundings, a mix of excitement and anticipation sets in. We embark on a journey that will test our resilience, broaden our horizons, and transform our very notion of home.

Chapter 2: Cultivating Connections

As we travel from country to country, we have the opportunity to immerse ourselves in diverse cultures and forge connections with people from all walks of life. From gazing at ancient temples in Kyoto to sipping tea with nomads in Mongolia, we discover the warmth and hospitality that exist across continents. These connections remind us that home is not just a physical place, but also a feeling of being welcomed and understood.

Chapter 3: Nature's Embrace

Nature has a special way of grounding us and reminding us of our place in the world. From hiking through lush rainforests in Costa Rica to witnessing the awe-inspiring beauty of the Northern Lights in Iceland, each encounter with nature brings us closer to finding our sense of belonging. The serenity and peace we find in these natural wonders become a comforting reminder of the home we seek.

Chapter 4: Chasing Dreams

Throughout our journey, we encounter individuals who have made brave choices to pursue their dreams. From passionate artists in Paris to aspiring entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley, these people inspire us to follow our own aspirations. They remind us that home is not just a physical space but also a place where our dreams are nurtured and encouraged.

Chapter 5: Reflections on the Path

As our journey nears its end, we take a moment to reflect on the path we have traversed. We realize that the search for home is not about finding a specific location or abode. It is about finding a state of mind, a sense of belonging within ourselves. The experiences we have gained, the lessons we have learned, and the connections we have made along the way all contribute to shaping our own definition of what home truly means.

The Epilogue: Home Is Where the Heart Is

Through this incredible journey, we come to understand that home cannot be confined to one place or defined by a set of walls. It is an ever-evolving concept that resides within our hearts. It is the culmination of our experiences, the connections we make, and the dreams we pursue. So, whether we find ourselves in a bustling city, a small village, or on the road, home will always be with us, guiding us on our path of self-discovery.

The sixtieth parallel marks a borderland between the northern and southern worlds. Wrapping itself around the lower reaches of Finland, Sweden, and Norway, it crosses the tip of Greenland and the southern coast of Alaska, and slices the great expanses of Russia and Canada in half. The parallel also passes through Shetland, where Malachy Tallack has spent most of his life.In Sixty Degrees North, Tallack travels westward, exploring the landscapes of the parallel and the ways that people have interacted with those landscapes, highlighting themes of wildness and community, isolation and engagement, exile and memory.An intimate journey of the heart and mind, Sixty Degrees North begins with the author's loss of his father and his own troubled relationship with Shetland, and concludes with an embrace of the place he calls home.
