The feeling of home. I don't think that anything can beat that. It's what you look forward to after a long time away from the places that you're familiar with. You start wishing to sleep in your own bed, the comfort of your couch, the smell of the dining room...things that are such a little part of your life, start to come back to play a larger role in your memory.

Whether your home or the place you stay is large or small, it's still yours. I think that's what makes it special. You're able to color it, design it, and fill it with whatever you choose. It's unique to your interests, things that will make you happy. It's not the same as your best friend's house or the 5 star hotel in Fiji...but it's always just a great place to relax at that you know you'll be safe.
At the end of the day, it's really comforting to just collapse on your bed, breathe a sigh of relief, and just close your eyes and think about things that make you smile.
