On the contrary, it was one of the best experiences I've had (I was 23). While I was timid, I learned to make acquaintances and good friends. And even when I was away from home, we were still connected with my family (virtually, that is) so it didn't feel like a long time.
that's interesting. Most people travel above and get home sick. I guess it boils down to how well one settles. Most people don't find it easy in a new country. Good to know your experience was positive
that's 5 years, I travelled home after 100 level in uni, and till I graduated I never turn back, even though we strike for over a year between those periods.
I was away for a year
was it on a business trip?
yes it was
!PIZZA
2 years straight during my first few working years overseas.
how was that experience for you? Must have been lonely and scary being a lone in a new city.

The homesickness is there but it depends on how one handles it. I was lucky that the company plus the people I worked with were welcoming.
this is something a lot of us do experience when we go to new places, I feel so lonely and don't even interact with people like that
true that. I won't leave to live home. I don't know, I am just too attached to my family. They are everything to me.
Yaeh, family first before anything else, I understand you
Oh, wow, that is nice to hear that, how has it been?
It's been great, thank you :)
Ohk, thanks for sharing with us, I wish to over work oversees, a day to come
Cheers, and all the best to you :) It will be a wonderful experience if you do.
Yaeh, sure I will try my possible best to have such an experience too
Salute to you :) It will even be better if you go overseas for an adventure and not mainly to work hehe.
My memories are flawed. 6 months, I think.
what where you doing away from home for 6 months?
I was in school for a 9-month program.
that's 5 years, I travelled home after 100 level in uni, and till I graduated I never turn back, even though we strike for over a year between those periods.
wow! How did your folks feel about it? I don't think I will make it without my family for five years. That's a lot.
Hmmm, aside school, I am mostly indoors, I don't usually go out that much, so maybe 3 hours is cool
I truly can't remember hahahah
not longer than six months, I have always been lucky with my destinationa that I am always almost in the southern part of Nigeria
