Living abroad is a great idea.

But it does have its downsides: one big one being dealing with homesickness.
For many, its about the people.

But expats also miss the landscapes, the cities, and the weather of home.
And eventually, this can get too much.
Ive been living in the Cayman Islands for three years now.
If you havent hit the limit, homesickness may be just a bout that can be easily alleviated.
For others, living abroad is essential for business or family reasons.
Tap into the beauty of where you are.
The Cayman Islands dont have any mountains, thats for sure.
But they do have beaches that you certainly wouldnt find anywhere in Canada.
Couchsurfing meet ups are great for this!
Plan a vacation somewhere new.
and go somewhere completely new.
Find a way to intertwine your creature comforts at home.
Think about some of your favorite things at home.
Now see if you’re free to replicate doing this in your new home.
Investigate joining a gym.
Many countries across the globe sell DVDs for a lot cheaper than in North America and Europe.
Remember why you chose to move abroad in the first place.
Did you move away because of the climate?
Were you sick of cities and wanting to live a relaxed pace of life in a more rural setting?
Reminding yourself of this will really help you put things into perspective.
Focus on the realistic perception of home.
But take a stab at concentrate on what living at home is really like.
