Travel tip #9 a-la Mel.

It is a well known fact that one tends to feel kind of lost when traveling. From time to time you wake up going: "Where the hell am I? And how did I get here? And why did I decide to come here again??"
My friend Melanie did The Travel herself and send me some great tips to ward off The Lost. She suggests doing whatever you possibly can to make whichever dorm room you are currently staying in home. She used to do this by throwing her favorite sarong over the bed and placing a book next to her bed. Instant home!
It seems I have developed similar habits. I make my bed absolutely perfectly every morning and get great satisfaction from seeing it in all its perfection when I come back after a long day on the discovery trail. Similarly, Cellini Euroline has found a home in one specific corner in my room, and has to be in a certain position for me to feel good and comfortable. Small things become important when you have nothing.

"Then it would die, ofcourse."
"But that must happen very often," Alice remarked thoughtfully.
"It always happens," said the Gnat.
