A sigh of relief follows the words, “Oh good! So, you’re not going to Mexico City then?” “Oh… erm… erm... well… about that…”

Reverse Culture Shock and Re-learning the Meaning of Home
Reverse Culture Shock I remember the first time I came home from long-term traveling and living abroad. Even after two years away, I wasn’t ready to go home. I remember feeling intense sadness on our way to Bangkok airport. It wasn’t easy to tear myself away from this beautiful, colourful and vibrant country.
