I didn't quite know or understand when people said moving to the other side of the world can bring up all different emotions. I thought to myself how can this be true your seeing the world and living a dream not many people have the opportunity to do this. I was having a good day spending it with friends enjoying the beautiful sunshine while having a drinks with friends, then next minute i find myself crying on a bus back to my flat, home sick just hit me like a tone of bricks.

Yes it is all exciting to start off with new place, new adventure you get to explore and find all the nook and crannies and find the gems of each place, but my emotion just got the better of me. I do miss New Zealand the beaches the attitude, have gone through emotions in the last 2 months that i thought id never go throughout.

Homesickness just sucks really, at times you can prepare for it, like at Christmas, birthdays or when you get home and there is no one to talk to, Ive always been a homebody doing my own thing I have really only had a couple of really close friends. but this time my homesickness hit me hard, so hard I had difficulty sipping my tears back. I don't know why it hit me (it could’ve been and excess amount of alcohol) but even then it was the worse I have felt since I arrived in London.

I don't know what triggers homesickness, but that day I would love to know what made me feel that way, I know a couple of days after landing in London you start to feel really lonely you cant call up your friends because its the middle of the night back at home and you have just arrived so you don't have any friends, but this was a different kind of homesickness the one where you can do nothing about it but go home and cry your tears away.

Feeling homesick is a pain in the ass! but it does come and go, I try to keep myself as busy as possible as this keeps my mind off not being around my family and friends.
