My bags are packed and the apartment has been cleaned (sort of). After living in Penang for 5 months I am finally going home! This is the longest I have ever been away from home and it is definitely the longest that I have ever been in a foreign country. I have missed the United States so much and am so grateful that I am going back. We are celebrating my cousin’s wedding and then I will stay at home for who knows how long. I may come back to Penang. I may not. All I know is that I am excited to get on that plane and watch hours of movies till I pass out from eye exhaustion.
Although living abroad is an incredible opportunity to travel and experience a new culture, I am always ecstatic to return to my home country and see my family and friends.
“Home is where the heart is”, of this I am certain.
Florida, here I come!
