In Wales we call it 'Hiraeth', in Germany 'Heimat'. What exactly is this belonging desire inside everyones heart? Having left my beloved countryside of Wales in 2010 and now living as dual-nationality in Germany, this is my personal blog about modern life away from your country of birth and staying true to your origins. With my daughter as co-host the podcast intent is simply for chats about what's going on in life without taking things too serious :)
