I completely understand! I've moved to a nice place but that doesn't make up for the loneliness felt by being so far away from my own country and my roots. Everything that is familiar and dear to me has been left behind. Even the little things like my favourite walks, cafes, shops etc. Also, not having my old friends around to share the bad times as well as the good leaves me feeling like there is a hole inside me.

The adjustment to living in a foreign country can take quite a while and going through the transistion isn't easy. One of the things I find hard is relating to people from another culture and I guess that's why I feel not only lonely but lost. I feel that I'm not connecting because I don't understand the culture like my own.

Can you relate to this?
