    Home is our safe space and where we retreat to when everything in the outside world feels a little too much. When we’re travelling, however, we’re naturally unable to simply “pop home for a bit” and this detachment from the place that makes us feel our most safe and centred can be upsetting, even in the middle of an incredible holiday. However, homesickness during the holidays doesn’t have to spoil your trip. By taking a few simple steps before and during your travels, you can ease those pangs of longing and focus on making the most of your journey.

    1. Plan Ahead to Minimise Stress

    A lot of homesickness can stem from uncertainty and last-minute anxiety, so careful planning is key. Before you set off, book your accommodation and transport to avoid last-minute scrambles in unfamiliar places. It’s also helpful to pack a few home comforts to bring a crumb of familiarity to even the most distant locales.

    1. Stay Connected (But Not Too Connected!)

    Staying in touch with loved ones back home can work wonders in keeping homesickness at bay. Schedule regular phone or video calls so you have something to look forward to and share snippets of your daily adventures via photos or voice notes. However, it’s just as important not to overdo it as spending too much time online while travelling can prevent you from fully immersing yourself in your new environment and the people that you’re sharing it with.

    1. Create a Home Away from Home

    When you arrive at your destination, take time to unpack and organise your belongings. Personalise your surroundings by placing familiar items in plain view, such as a comfy pillow or an ornament that reminds you of home. Routines can also be incredibly grounding. For example, you could continue your treasured morning ritual by indulging in a soothing cup of your favourite green tea. This small but meaningful habit will help anchor you to your happy place, no matter how far you’ve travelled from it.

    1. Embrace the Local Culture

    One of the most effective ways to counter homesickness is by actively immersing yourself in the local culture. Get out of your comfort zone and try regional dishes, attend a local festival, or learn some useful phrases in the language. These new experiences not only distract you from missing home but also help you forge emotional connections to the place you’re visiting. Over time, you’ll find familiarity in the sounds, smells, and daily rhythms of your surroundings, boosting your sense of belonging.

    1. Look After Your Wellbeing

    Lastly, remember that your physical and mental health plays a huge role in how you cope with being away from home. Simple measures (like staying hydrated, eating balanced meals, and sticking to a reasonable sleep schedule) can make a world of difference. If stress or anxiety starts creeping in, mindfulness techniques such as journaling or short breathing exercises can help you refocus on the present moment.
