From people who came through it
“For whoever is where I was: Not that long ago, about a year, that was me. The first winter. That was my life. Today I made breakfast, went to work and laughed at something. x”
Delivery driver in Derby · been through immigrating and starting over abroad“Please be gentle with yourself. I wasn't, and it made everything harder and try not to make big decisions on the worst days, I learned that the hard way and and talk to someone, even if it's just in here.”
autumnbike1984 · been through immigrating and starting over abroad“Cuando llegas a un país nuevo, todo es extraño. El idioma, las costumbres, la comida. Te sientes perdido. Yo también. Pero poco a poco, vas encontrando tu sitio. No te compares con los demás. Cada uno tiene su ritmo. Busca ayuda. Habla con gente que haya pasado por lo mismo. Y no te olvides de tu idioma, de tus raíces. Eso te mantendrá entero.”
Gavin K. · been through immigrating and starting over abroad“I was in the same place eighteen months ago. I remember my degree not recognised like it was yesterday. My kids say I'm back. The bad days get further apart. Hang on.”
