Hello everyone,

Being an expat in Lithuania can turn out to be a wonderful human, social or professional adventure... with potential moments of nostalgia and homesickness along the way.

What are your personal tips to prevent homesickness?

How do you deal with such feelings?

Are there shops or stores offering products from your home country in Lithuania? Or maybe venues with music and ambiance from your homeland?

Thanks for sharing your experience,

Priscilla

Hey Priscilla,

For me it is about involvement in the things I enjoy. Pursuing my hobbies (internet searches can help), family time with my children and making and expanding contacts.
Sure, there is nothing like Home, but with Skype to folks back there and getting involved with the community, here, all can be ok. Don't forget to plan and travel home as you can!

Hope this helps.
