R: 30 days away from home scares me. What more 75 days away?! :O
During the week, as we were starting to purchase flight tickets and car reservations, the feeling of homesickness suddenly creeped in. I know it's still a few more months till our departure from Singapore but the thought of not being home for nearly 3 days is quite scary (at least for myself).
Since young, I've only been away for at least 2 weeks which isn't long at all. Having missed my chance to go for a student exchange in Mannheim, Germany, I haven't actually been away from home for more than 2 weeks (that is super short)
My comforting thought will be that I'll be travelling with company (Emily!) and that being young and all, I should seize this time to explore this huge, vast, humongous planet before I'm tied down by other commitments in the future. Thinking about these things makes me feel quite pumped up for the trip.
Although I'll definitely miss my family A LOT, having social media and the internet can really help pull us closer despite being miles and miles away which I am really grateful for. They'll be able to communicate with us and also see the beautiful sights in the places that we'll be travelling!
If any of you reading this know of any good remedies to cope with homesickness or are feeling the same, 75 days may be long but with such great connectivity, we are really just a Skype call or a FaceTime away from our loved ones!
