Missing home

Being away from family and friends is not always easy.

I really love getting to know new places, people, food and culture. Therefore, I always wanted to live abroad. I´ve spent 5 months in northern Norway which was an absolutely amazing experience and right now I am about 700 kilometers away from home. Most of the time I am just happy that I can live my dreams, however, there are also evenings when I really miss my family and friends. But what can you do about that feeling? For me it is really important to stay in touch with the people I love. In times of Whatsapp and Skype this is quite easy. It is good to know that people do not forget you and still share their daily experiences. And the best is, of course, a visit from family and friends. Showing them around in the city which became your second home is just a great feeling. I am really thankful for all the people who came to Heidelberg just to see me again and to spend some nice days together.

Another thing that really helps against homesickness is finding new friends and spending time with them. During an experience like the Erasmus period great friendships can be build up lasting most likely forever. And what is better than having friends around the world? 
