Gist with Dotun the Girl

Practical Tips for Long-Distance Friendships and Family

Long-distance relationships can be tough. Feeling that pang of disconnection after

moving away from loved ones. Missing out on family dinners and inside jokes with

friends - it can feel isolating. But here's the thing: distance doesn't have to mean

disconnection.

In this episode, I invite you into the intimate world of my experiences navigating life

far from home. Together with my cousins, Toyin and Anu, we peel back the layers of our shared

journey, reminiscing about the comforting embrace of familiar cuisine, the

bittersweet moments of cultural adjustment, and the profound longing for the

warmth of home. Through laughter and vulnerability, we reveal the unspoken challenges

and heartwarming triumphs that define the expat experience.

Whether you're a seasoned expat yearning for a taste of home or someone

contemplating a leap into the unknown, this episode offers a personal, uplifting

perspective that promises to resonate deeply with your own journey. So grab a cup of

tea, settle in, and let's embark on this adventure together. Tune in now and let the

journey begin!
