I've definitely had my moments of feeling lonely in London. Loneliness abroad can feel discouraging, but it’s not proof you made a mistake by moving. It’s a natural part of adjusting to a new country, and with time, effort, and connection, it becomes easier to manage. You just have to put in effort to get out and meet new people!

I’ve lived abroad for four years now, and I’ve experienced both sides of the social spectrum. There were seasons where loneliness hit hard. And there were other times where my calendar was so full that I couldn’t take on new friendships.

If you’re moving abroad—or already living abroad—loneliness is part of the journey. It doesn’t mean you made the wrong decision. It just means you’re human, and you’re navigating a big transition.

In this episode, we’ll look at why loneliness abroad feels so intense, the main causes behind it, and the practical strategies you can use to cope and build community.

Have you ever felt guilty about wanting to move abroad — like you’re letting down your family, friends, or even your culture? You’re not alone. In this episode, I share my own experience with guilt after moving overseas, including the comments people made (“I love my family too much to live abroad,” “Why did you move abroad? Is the US not good enough for you?”) and how those words weighed on me day-to-day.

We’ll explore why guilt shows up when you choose to live abroad, from family expectations to cultural pressures, and how to reframe it as a sign of love — not a reason to hold yourself back. I’ll also share practical ways to handle guilt, like staying connected intentionally, including your loved ones in your journey, and giving yourself permission to enjoy the life you’re building abroad.

By the end, you’ll see that guilt doesn’t have to stop you — moving abroad is not selfish, it’s an act of growth.
