I've lived in Toronto my whole life, but I have traveled a lot and Toronto continues to feel like home. I like the balance of the city and the suburbs of the areas that surround it. I enjoy the balance you can find between several countries.

I like venturing out into the city and being able to find someone from anywhere in the world. It's like being everywhere and being home all at once.

For example, my father is from Trinidad, a small island close to Venezuela, and he can venture anywhere in the city and find someone from Trinidad. He does it all the time, and they talk about "back home" and share memories. You can't do that everywhere.
