When Turtles Come Home

When Victoria Hoffarth was at graduate school in the U.S., her lecturer, the anthropologist Margaret Mead, once told her class, "There are so many varied places in the world. It is incumbent upon us to search for one where we most fit." Thus, despite having been born and brought up in the Philippines, Victoria never felt at home there.

Cand Victoria Hoffarth era la scoala postuniversitara in SUA, lectorul ei, antropologul Margaret Mead, i-a spus odata cursului: „Exista atat de multe locuri variate in lume. Ne revine sarcina de a cauta unul in locul in care ne potrivim cel mai bine”. Astfel, in ciuda faptului ca s-a nascut si a crescut in Filipine, Victoria nu s-a simtit niciodata acasa acolo.
