Well, I've been home for almost a week, and in some aspects it is really nice to be home! :) However, part of me wishes I was still on my Pacific adventure. I miss the people that I met, as well as the nomadic lifestyle. If you read my blog a while back, you may have seen my post regarding reverse culture shock when I came back from Germany. It's a nasty little bugger, and once again it is present...hopefully it won't stick around too long this time!
Since coming home, I read a great book called How to Survive Reverse Culture Shock by Elena Nebreda. I definitely relate to some of the expat stories in the book and found myself agreeing with a lot of it. I encourage you to read it--especially if you've been abroad for a while and are returning home. I don't usually enjoy reading, but I got through the book pretty quick!
Also, here's a video by Elena that explains a little bit about RCS. She has a couple more videos on her YouTube channel relating to the topic.
Peace. Love. Happiness.
