A few days before my partner and I took a flight to Canada, we had no place to call home. We had sold everything, and we were taking a big gamble on this adventure. We were moving to a completely new place with no home waiting for us. It was impossible for us to rent a house in Fredericton while still in Mexico, which made me feel very anxious and sad.


However, after listening to the song "Home" by the Korean band BTS, I realized where my true home was. I looked into my partner's eyes and told him that my home is wherever we both are together. We both agreed on that statement, and it has kept us strong during the hardest moments of being newcomers in a country far away from our families.
