Dealing with Home Sickness

I was always with my family but moving to Netherlands for one year was a challenge for me. I had a good job and supportive family here in Doha hence, leaving everything behind and moving to Netherlands was a tough decision for me. However, for me going to Europe was a once in a life time opportunity and doing my specialization in Netherlands was a step that would elevate my future career and give me a competitive edge hence, I took the decision.

I did not felt home sick right after reaching Netherlands. It took time for me to feel that. I felt home sick after one week. Things hit me little too hard. I started missing my mom's food, my friends here in Doha, I started missing the convenience that I had here in Doha. I started feeling alone and lonely. well once my specialization started I made lot of friends however, every night when I come home I used to feel alone and miss my family.

I was falling sick slowly so I knew I have to do something for myself. I helped myself and started reflecting my days. I started thanking Almighty for everything he given me. I started meditating at least 10 mins a day. Things started helping me and I started feeling better. Reflecting my days helped me the most and I realized my goals. When I realized my Goals I became focused and felt relaxed.

Yes we all feel home sick when we go away from our family but life is not easy. We have to help ourselves to reach goals and succeed.

I passed the check point and I was hungry as I did not had anything on the flight. I bought a chicken salad from Subway and I walked to the gate. I only had half an hour to board the flight so I ran and stood in the line. I was almost the last one in the line. By the time my turn came to board the flight the flight was full so all other passengers have to fly by the next flight. I was s...

Suddenly, one of my friend suggested that why don;t we go for a road trip on coming weekend. spontaneously, we made the plan that we will visit Hamburg as that is the nearest destination from Leeuwarden.

Walk around the Belgian streets

Best part about the trip to Brussels was walking around the city. Every street has its own beauty. when you walk around the street you see the different cultures. The city has beauty of mix cultures. You will observe different shopping streets, I must say Brussels is full of thrift shops. There is food street where you can find almost every cuisine however, try Belgian steaks. Every street has its own beauty. However, I loved the food street. I traveled in summer hence I could not see the night life.
