It’s so hard to say goodbye. Luckily nowadays it’s so much easier to keep in touch with family and friends left behind.

Oh gosh, this is so true. The thing that surprised me most about leaving my first “home” abroad is how long it took me to get over leaving. It was kind of like a breakup and then jumping immediately into a new relationship. It took me probably three months to see all the great things about living in Madrid because I was too busy dealing with leaving behind home in Colombia.

It’s so hard, the finality. I’ve tried to stop constantly thinking “it’s the last time…” as it’s too sad. Good luck with your move.

I always say expat life has many more highs and lows, while life back home is just more steady. But because of the intensity of living overseas it can become addictive…

They do, and I now have friends in so many places I think I’ve got my holidays worked out for the next three decades!

My family and I are going through the same thing in San Francisco at the moment. Yesterday I witnessed my five year old running down the corridor with her friend that she met on the day we moved into our apartment 2 years ago and I had a very large lump in my throat. It was going to be the last time they did that together. We are moving back to Singapore.

Been there…I can never get over how much of our lives we leave behind. It seems like a weird life sometimes, to have such intense experiences and then move on. But people show up or you meet in new places in the world. And I seem to have more places I can travel to where I will know someone.

I never say goodbye, only ‘see you next time’. Surprisingly paths do cross again at the most unexpected times in the most unexpected places.

The serious crime in South Africa is quietly spreading; often un-reported anywhere official.
One hears of a close neighbour’s attack during a burglary (usually elderly people) or of brutal attacks on farms. Then are scary hi-jackings, assaults or robberies. Don’t believe me? Then visit https://www.eblockwatch.co.za Be safe and vigilant!
