I could’ve written this post last summer. In fact, I kind of did. For me it was moving back after two years in Spain and a summer trying to make Germany work for me. Best of luck with the re-adjustment. Reverse culture shock will definitely get you!
Personally, I’ve been back in the States for 10 months now and am now gearing up for more wandering.

Wow! Exciting and scary all at the same time! I don’t know how I would feel moving back to the US either, I know what you mean about not feeling American enough, that made me laugh. I feel similarly, I always have a guilt when I end a skype call with my niece and nephew or I miss someone’s engagement or birthday. It’s hard to be away. Good luck getting back into it, but good luck first with your dissertation!

Yeah, I had to miss two of my friends’ weddings when I was in Asia and it was heartbreaking. Thanks for the comment Fiona!

This has really struck a cord with me. I’m back in Ireland after spending the best part of 4 years in different countries. I missed my friends hugely and one of the big things for me was them all getting engaged and the thoughts of me missing their weddings.

Best of luck in the move back

Thanks Christine! I’m glad to hear you are comfortable with your decision even if you still are wanting to get back out there.
