成语故事：四海为家 Make a home wherever you are

四海为家

sì hǎi wéi jiā

Make a home wherever you are

四means four, 海 means sea or ocean, 为means to be or to act as, 家 means home. 四海为家 means to feel at home wherever you are in the world. Sometimes, it can also mean "to lead a wandering or a nomadic life." But it sounds somewhat ironical when used this way.

Literal meaning： make a home wherever you are

Explanation: to talk about those who, because of lofty ideals, can settle anywhere they are needed

E.g

他喜欢旅游，是一个四海为家的人。

tā xǐ huān lǚ yóu ，shì yī gè sì hǎi wéi jiā de rén 。

He loves traveling around, and makes a home wherever he is.
