You can travel the world only to find what you are looking for at home

1 You can travel the world only to find what you're looking for at home

Traveling can be a marvelous adventure. An opportunity to experience cultures and visit locations far from your own piece of the world. It can teach you more than any book or university could. It can be a time to relax, recharge and rejuvenate.

Or it can be a journey to find something you seek. Whether that is said adventure, love or simply yourself, it is not always the answer. Sometimes you can travel the world, only to find what you are looking for at home.

The theme for The Challenge this month is “Globetrotter.” Check out the participant’s main stores to find your own travel souvenirs.

Mediterranean

A new round of The Challenge has begun with this month’s theme of Mediterranean. There are several lovely new offerings, so make sure you head to the creator’s mainstores to take advantage of this classic style.

My favourite this time around has to be the Tuscan Patio by [hate this:home]. The warm colours are the perfect background for the detailed textures and the crackling fire. There are versions with and without the drapes, but I love the mystery they give this cozy build.

Check out The Challenge Blog for all of the goodies this month and find your own Mediterranean favourite.
