Editor Becky Waterton explores the evolving nature of belonging after spending most of her adult life living outside her native United Kingdom. Having resided in Denmark and Sweden, she describes how her sense of home has expanded rather than fragmented. Rather than feeling torn between different countries, she finds comfort in maintaining connections to various cities through specific cultural habits, local foods, and cherished memories. This experience of living abroad has allowed her to integrate diverse traditions into her life, such as enjoying Danish, British, and Swedish holiday treats simultaneously. Ultimately, she views the ability to call multiple places home as a positive outcome of international living, suggesting that one's identity is enriched by these accumulated experiences and the ability to navigate different cultures with ease.
