"There's no place like home." That's my first thought every time I come here. Although we don't live here all year round, I consider it my home. Winter is not the best season to visit it, but summers at the bay are perfect. The house was bought 50 years ago by my grandparents and it has been owned by our family ever since. The house isn't spacious, but it's okay for one small family. My cousin who has five children doesn't come here with his whole family very often.The thing I love about the place is the view. The landscapes in the area are mindblowing. I have travelled to many countries but haven't seen anything like this. I'm lucky to be able to come here anytime. This is my home.

Most of my friends describe it as "tiny and cosy". I think it's a perfect place for me. My university is in the suburbs, but I don't have to stand in a traffic jam. I can take the train from the station in the city centre, which is 15 minutes walk from my place. Also, I work in a coffee shop in the central district, so it's really convenient not to spend much time on commuting from work after a long day.I didn't pay much attention to the interior design, just wanted to keep it simple and comfortable. When I go on my yearly holiday by the sea, I often let my friends stay here and they love this place, too!

I don't really like big cities. Traffic, noise and crowds have never been an inspiration to me. I'm glad I live far from the hustle and bustle, although our place also gets noisy and crowded at times. My whole family lives here: my parents, grandparents, and my uncle with his family. On weekdays it is usually quiet, as we all set off to work or school early in the morning and come back late in the evening. But we organise family barbeques at the weekends quite often. On holidays we host relatives from all over the country, that's when the quiet times are over. I love my home and my family!
