I love to travel and I have traveled many places in the world. But, I cannot imagine myself having no place that I can call a "home". When I start reading this book, I was wondering how she and her family could travel all the time. After few pages later, I found that the parents did not have regular jobs and they lived as travelers. What shocked me the most was that the author, Gloria, did not go to school because they kept traveling all the time. I believe that I have an appreciation for travel just because I like to explore somewhere that is different where I live. If I hadn't had a house and contentiously traveled like their family, I would have longed to live a house with my family just like she did.
Despite the fact that she was afraid of being like her father, she still went on a trip. Instead of traveling with her father which the least thing she wanted to do, she chose to go to India by herself. I found this ironic because people, who never traveled before, are likely not brave enough to go to other countries alone. I believe that she inherits her father's spirit and it made her possible to make this decision to go to India alone.
