Thank you Cate. I think of anything I miss about my family that’s not nearby it’s the food 🙂

I don’t know whether I miss my family or not. They drive me crazy when I go home which is why I leave. But I do miss them more when it comes to Christmas and birthday celebrations. I totally don’t miss my mother’s cooking.

Definitely true. Coming home becomes an event – I hadn’t thought about it that way. You treasure each moment when you are there 🙂

Hi Erica, I couldn’t imagine leaving without a laptop. Losing Twitter for two hours was hard enough haha.

About being more social, I think it can go in two ways. Couples and smaller groups I find get approached more than bigger groups but you’re right – traveling alone is probably when you end up being the most social. It makes you more out going and everyone wants to talk to you!

When you live nearby there is no urgency to meet. Now, when my wife and I visit, all of my closest family and friends make a special effort to meet us.

I have family in Hungary and in Canada and it really is great to see everyone in such a short time. Many people have commented that they see me more often then they do other family members.

There is something about coming from far away that makes each visit more important and precious. I definitely make much more effort to try and see everyone I can when I am home.
