The leaves have turned their autumn colors. In a single day, it seems, a tree can go from vibrant foliage to bare branches here in Southern Oregon.
The days are getting shorter, and the nights and mornings are chilly. There are a mix of sunny days, cloudy days with drizzle, and beautiful partly cloudy ones too.
I always feel like traveling in the fall. In fact, I feel like traveling all the time, but around late October, the urge is even stronger.
I’m a nomad at heart.
A list of towns might be interesting. Below, I have listed only the towns where I have resided at least once. In some cases, I lived at several addresses at different times.
These are not necessarily in chronological order:
- Reseda / Tarzana (what was Reseda reverted to Tarzana)
- Canoga Park
- Malibu
- City of Commerce
- San Pedro
- Harbor City
- Torrance
- South Santa Ana
- Burbank
- Shadow Hills
- Dunedin, FL
- Spanaway, WA
- Kingman, AZ
- Encino
- Carson
- Pasadena
- La Crescenta
- Kagel Canyon
- Lake Los Angeles
- Sherman Oaks
- Lomita
- Glendale
- Altadena
- Arcadia
- Gardena
- Lake Elsinore
- Tujunga
- Palm Desert
- Palm Springs
- Bermuda Dunes
- Medford, OR
I lived in Bermuda Dunes for 9 years, second only to the home I grew up in, in Reseda, where I lived for about 13 years.
I still think about where else I would like to live next.
I want to have a nice, stable home as a base of operations, then travel to see other parts of the country.
That is why I like the title “nomad.” It describes how I have lived.
