Um i'm not a jetsetter but for me it depends where I go. If its to America then i'm fine for months/weeks and it doesn't bother me because its similar to home anyway.

If it is to Spain or France then I do start to get homesick after a week or two. For me I bring things from home and use them. I would also try and watch some British news/television in order to stay in touch with home. I might go to the supermarket and buy some British food also.

I'm moving to England in September for uni i'm not really sure how I will cope or if I will cope but it is both a daunting and exciting prospect. So far all I have done to help me cope is book fights home every three weeks.

Honestly I am kind of tired of my country and want out to another country with more amenities so when I am away I find it hard to miss my actual country.. I actually hate coming back. Tbh I went to Florida this summer and was there for five weeks, I could've stayed months past the departure date and still not cared about being far from home.. This is going to sound odd but I was actually dreading coming home.
