The Nomadic Tapestry of Belonging
What does "home" mean when you've lived in seventeen different houses across four continents before turning seventeen? This question forms the beating heart of Megan Harlan's extraordinary journey through a childhood defined by perpetual movement. Unlike traditional nomads who follow ancestral patterns, Harlan's family relocated almost yearly, propelled by her father's engineering career on massive global construction projects. From Saudi Arabian deserts to Scottish highlands, each transition brought radical shifts in climate, culture, and daily rhythms. This created a unique perspective-one where only the very intimate (thoughts, family) or the vastly expansive ("London," "astronomy," "poetry") felt tangible, while the middle ground of neighborhood connections and community ties remained perpetually out of reach. Their American tradition of westward movement transformed into an international odyssey, turning the frontier into a global experience where cardboard boxes-meticulously managed by her homemaker mother-became both anchors and sails, containing fragments of past lives while facilitating movement toward future ones.
