I didn’t have to think very hard about this one, since moving homes and countries makes you realise what your most treasured possessions are (you can only fit so much into one suitcase!)

My most treasured possession would however, fit into my handbag quite easily seeing it’s only a small notebook. I am an incessant reader and this notebook holds all the little sentences and passages that made me catch my breath. You know – those moments in a book which makes you stop, amazed that someone who doesn’t know you at all, just managed to put words to an emotion you’ve always felt but never knew how to express.

And reading it makes you feel warm and accepted and comfortable with being you.
