It has been harder on my wife, Guatemala is a long way from her family in the UK. For me it is a 3 hour flight that is often not to expensive, so easier to get back for visits.
But honestly while I’ve had brief moments of homesickness or desire to be around old friends. I go back and often the culture feels so distant and separated. Everyone zooming around each other with little time to just sit and talk calmly.
Where we live in Guatemala, life is slow, we walk everywhere and I have meaningful friendship’s.
So beyond occasional flickers of nostalgia toward the old times and holiday gatherings… I don’t find it so difficult to be far from family.
