How to get ready for International Homesickness Day

When in a foreign country, you have the chance to visit a new place that many people choose as their holiday destination. Look around you, we’re sure you’ll notice tourists who paid quite a lot of money to be there. Since you’re already there, you might as well take advantage and see as many sights as you can. Trust us, homesickness comes and goes and you will eventually grow attached to the place you’re in right now.

There are a lot of people who feel the same way as you do everywhere in the world, so who could understand you better than someone going through the same thing? Look around you, you will definitely find other expats who are in the same situation. And who knows, some of them might actually be from your home country! Talking to someone who understands is easy and you will be able to help each other. The best part: you might also make some new friends!

Remember your routine from back home? Waking up at the same hour each morning, eating the same kind of breakfast, going to work, and so on. You probably found it boring sometimes, but that kind of routine can now help you feel closer to home. So take it with you! Do the things you used to do at home and it will seem like not much has changed. Go jogging in the morning, watch that TV series you used to be hooked on in the evening, or cook your favorite food. You can even look for ingredients that are specific to your country and prepare some traditional food.

What you’re doing is not easy. Not many people have the courage and the determination to change their lives and move away from home. Living abroad is challenging, but it is also rewarding. You’ll see so many new things, meet new people, experience a different culture, and create memories you can tell your grandchildren about. It might seem hard at times, but it will be worth it in the long run.

This is an easy one! Since KeepCalling.com is always here for you, you have no excuse not to call your loved ones whenever you miss them.
