And how about keeping relationships while in transit3      ;some send letters and postcards,or even photos;others may just call and say hi,just to let their friends know that they're still alive and well. People find ways to keep in touch. Making friends on the way helps travelers feel more or less at home. 4       Nowadays,fewer people are working in their local towns,so how do they develop a sense of belonging?
