Question

 My happy place is my home in central Auckland. I travel quite a lot. Last year I went to Europe and the United States a couple of times and I had a few other trips but part of the reason why I love to travel is that I get to come home afterwards. It's really nice to come home and go out into my garden and wander around my plants and my flowers.

  I get a feeling of happiness when I come home,knowing I can just sit on my couch and read a book. I write in my study and in the garden as well. It's really relaxing being in my own space. Fve been here for three or four years. It takes a while to get everything exactly as you like in a house. Now my study is set up as how I want it,my garden is how I want it,and I have a library room where I have all my books. It's really comfortable.

  When I moved into the house,one of the first things I did was to get wall-to-wall shelves built in the library for all my books. For a long time my books were in storage in my parents' garage. I love going into my library. It's a real?ly calm place. It has not only got many books, but also has got things I've picked up during my travelling.

  There's a lot of me in that room and there's a lot of me in my study as well because I spend most of the day there. I love my desk―I've had it since I was a teenager. And I have a thesaurus(分类词典) I've had for so many-years. I have my maps, my dictionary,my research notes,my pens and pa?per,my notes and my own books.

  When I'm writing and when I'm deep into a book,I tend to disappear for a while. I'm able to be absent-minded wherever I am―if I'm stuck in an air?port ,I'll find myself a little corner and go for it. But my favourite place to write is home. I'm happy when I'm here.
