Moving to another country can bring many emotional ups and downs. Often there is an exciting period, when everything in the new country is wonderful. Then it becomes hard because everything is not like home. Some days it’s frustrating and sometimes you may feel lonely and homesick.
Don’t worry, this is normal and happens to most people. Talking to other people and becoming involved in local activities can help.
