#92: The First Holiday Season Abroad: How to Celebrate and Cope with Missing Home [Encore Episode]


Listen Later

Merry Christmas Everyone! 🎄

In this encore episode, I revisit the topic of celebrating holidays while living abroad--from practical tips on how to cope with missing home to embracing the festive spirit of your new surroundings. Plus, a little update on how I'm celebrating Christmas abroad this year!

What you'll learn in the episode:

  • How to Make the Holidays Special, Even When You're Far from Home: Create a festive atmosphere at home, connect with loved ones via FaceTime or Zoom and join local celebrations.
  • Coping with Homesickness: If you're feeling down or nostalgic, you’re not alone. I share some personal stories of past holiday seasons spent abroad—including my first Christmas in China (hint: it didn’t go as planned!). 
  • Travel Tips: If you're a location-independent worker or can negotiate vacation time, consider planning a holiday trip to visit family or friends abroad. 
  • Embracing Holidays from Different Cultures: Whether it's Christmas in Georgia or celebrating Spring Festival in China, each country offers unique ways to celebrate. Don't miss out on these special moments just because you're away from home.
