Episode Synopsis

In this heartfelt episode of Hold to Talk, we open up about the often unspoken side of expat life—homesickness. From the heartache of missing aging parents to the loss of a beloved family pet, we share honest stories about love, loss, and the bittersweet goodbyes that come with living far from home.The conversation dives into cultural differences, the role of technology in staying connected, and how distance reshapes relationships over time. With warmth and candor, we reflect on what it means to embrace change, honour family ties, and find strength in new chapters abroad.Whether you’re an expat, a traveler, or simply someone who’s ever missed home, this episode will resonate.#expats #homesickness #movingabroad #movingtoportugal
