Going through this right now. So relatable. Thanks for sharing

I moved abroad to work a month ago, and now I'm crying so hard because I miss my family and friends Eventhough I'm already 28, I've spent all my life in my hometown with my family and friends....

For the most amount of time, I grew up in another country, that’s very far from my birthplace. There I grew up, learnt English, and frankly, spent the best time of my life there. Unfortunately I had to move back to my birthplace , and it wasn’t my choice as I was still a child. All of the memories stuck with me, where I lived, my friends that were like family to me, everything. 9 years have passed since I left, I wonder if they still think of me, how everything has changed, the home I grew up in. It pains me, I think to myself; if I were to fly overseas to said country, I would most likely feel nostalgic. I would cry tears of sadness, not joy. I would reminisce on the good times, and then be reminded that I am an on looker, an outsider, a tourist in the place I once called home. That’s a stark reminder of how much of a disappointment it would be, I wouldn’t be able to do that to myself. My once called family would probably have forgotten me, politics would tear us apart, the impact of time. Why is life so sad and painful? Beats me.

Lovely video

It's like saying English people are the same as the Scottish.

When you first spoke to your cat at the beginning of the video I thought that you were Spanish (From Spain 🇪🇸) 😂

Hey! Just discovered your channel on my 9th month of pregnancy and really liked your videos where you share your experience with pregnancy and labor in Italy since I also live here... you are doing great as a mom! 😊 P.s. can you please share the name of the marsupio from your video?

4:39 Same as the American one, but our growing season is shorter. I think there might be another reason, but that's what I was always told; it's a Harvest Festival.

Welcome to my world! I'm from the US but live in europe so i really feel your pain!

Wunderschön ❤❤❤❤

I just love watching you speak. It makes me happy and joyful. Thank you for that energy. Keep them coming.

Saying the west all the way to southern ontario has the same accents is just false

My d n a is Swiss German roman Greek Russian Norwegian bit of Celtic hahaha 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

italian hospitals have very strict visiting hours!

I moved to Spain from California in July, with my husband, son, daughter-in-law, and three granddaughters. I have left 4 adult children and one grandchild in the US (all in different cities). It's hard every day to not be able to plan something quick to get together or to make a quick flight for the weekend. I cry for sure sometimes! Deep cries for missing my tribe. Like you said, I also remember to reflect that when we were closer together, we didn't always see each other as much as we wanted because of the constant grind that is the US for young people in their 20s and 30s as my children are. This summer three of the kids came for over two months each, worked remotely, and that time was more than what we might spend together in a year when in the same city, in terms of the number of actual hours. Sometimes this type of reframe helps a lot. My little granddaughter in the US who is 8 years old is the hardest part, because she loved our home there and we are extremely close. She hasn't visited us here yet, and when that happens I know that hole in my heart will be filled. I also plan to go there two or three times per year for extended periods once we find a good dog-sitter. Living in a place without a threat of violence, without achievement and materialism culture, with a higher level of manners and respect toward self and others, and with food that tastes like it comes from the earth has made me immensely happier, despite having been born and raised in one of the most beautiful cities in the world, San Diego, CA. There is no easy answer, and the missing is real, but ultimately, we each get to decide what is best for our nervous system and what values we want to reflect in how we live our one little life. Visiting and connecting in a variety of ways makes it manageable, and I embrace the 'missing' tears whenever they come. Thanks for your vulnerable post, your feelings are valid and it's ok to feel them. Be gentle with yourself and each day when you wake up, leave the judge in bed.

I usually don’t like travel videos and especially their hosts/hostesses. It goes against ever fiber of my beliefs to break the secret of a place to the whole world like one can online. But… BUT… your video was actually pretty refreshing. You’re a very disarming and charming person on screen and seemed to genuinely want to be there - it wasn’t for the views. So respect. I sailed past this island on my first ever ship as a merchant marine. We’d been hugging the coast of Algeria for a couple days and then were suddenly passing an Italian island. Kinda blew my mind. From 10 or so miles out, and yet at a pretty slow speed of 12 knots, it mostly just looked like a desolate and arid place. Your video displayed how wrong I was. So beautiful! And I actually have also seen that film and never realized that was the setting. If I had, I might have been tempted to jump ship! 😄 Looks like a lovely place and you did a genuinely lovely job of showing that. I’ve spent a couple decades in Indonesia and I just can’t stand how the wonderful secrets of the islands are being trammeled by bloggers. But I really do appreciate you giving me a fresh take on these kinds of videos and maybe proving me wrong a little.

Mazel Tov - your husbands 7.41% Ashkenazi Jewish DNA is responsible for 99% of his High IQ & sense of humour!

Omg... so much misinformation here from two people who are uninformed and uneducated. From their lack of knowledge of universal health care to regional accents amongst other topics, this video does a disservice to both countries.

Non ho 😢

I’m watching this right as my mom just left 10 mins ago; I can’t even get myself to go to class

When they check your American passport during Boarding aren’t they gonna ask where are your exit stamp ?

Dunkin' Donuts is nationwide. Has been for decades.

Thanksgiving in both Canada and the U.S. has to do with the harvest. It is celebrated later in the States because in many U.S. states, the harvest arrive later than in Canada where it is for the most part, colder earlier.

Greetings and Salutations I had the flu and i usually would pour the soup on my feet before i could hold anything in my digestion that was oil & tortilla chips Even yesterday i was considering a Epsom salt bathing Covid 19 is real Good luck Thanks

I am going through this right now... first time away from my family in 34 years and it feels like torture... the first week was THE hardest and I almost stopped eating

Sure, we have a free health care in Canada, but just wish you won't be in any pain! you need to wait 10 hours in Emergency to visit a doctor!! :(

Strongly need the name of music composition in the end🙌🏼🙏🏼

yoy was in le forna?

i am in ponza right now

I moved 6 years ago and now have a young family. Feel guilty constantly about being homesick. Especially as I now live in a really nice country.

This was helpful, thank you )

Well i am also a foreigner living in Italy and i gave birth in venezia,mestre…. My hospital experience is almost the same as yours and am glad to hear your story it feels like am not alone in this thankyou for sharing ❤

Beautiful ❤

The Ashkenazi Jewish percentage is nothing to be surprised about when you are Italian - the breakdown of Ashkenazi Jews is from 30-50% middle east from levant , 30-50% southern Europe mainly Italy and the rest 10-20% is Northern Europe , so basically being Ashkenazi means to be at least 30% Italian , so an Italian from Calabria that has 7.4% Ashkenazi is not from Poland, Ukraine or Germany but Italy. It's 10% Mizrahi Jewish is from outside , probably Southern Italian woman who married Iraqi or Iranian Jew. About Sofia it surprises me that she has none Jewish DNA, many women in Israel look like her.

I am currently in Canada to study, and even though I will be back for the holiday and summer. Is still very hard for me cause I am away from my family and friends. And now I have to start all over again and is stressful, I am two weeks in and even so, I still cry cause I want nothing more than to hug my family again. Hopefully in the upcoming weeks I can start adjusting (even with time zone change) and to know that this will be good for me :')

Thanks for sharing this amazing video with us😭❤️ I’m a university student who’s going to study abroad after one month, and every time when I think about being homesick after I leave my home country makes me feel so sad😭😭😭 I have never been abroad before, and it’s just a good opportunity for me to try something new, I always remind myself that it’s just for 5 months and I will come back, but knowing how much pain there’ll be when I will leave home kills me inside…

Just got back from vacation to Asia yesterday. I was really happy I saw my mother, sister and the rest of my relatives after 6 years. Going back in Europe, it feels so quiet again. I feel so sad and missing them so much especially my mother and my sister. How I wish I can visit them every month but I can’t. Everything is a trigger. I still feel their presence. Unpacking my luggage was also very difficult. I cry like a baby. 😢
