8 life lessons from moving abroad ✨

hi there 💕 i filmed this video after a moment of sadness and loneliness, before reflecting on everything i've learned since moving to Sweden. despite the ups and downs, i'm super grateful for everything i'm experiencing. i wanted to share this with anyone who might be feeling the same way or is planning to move abroad, to let you know that you're not alone! and to remind you that you'll be okay 🌸
ps: apologies for the glitches, they were definitely not intentional 🥲

So peaceful to see you filming in nature! Thank you for that. Also, glad you shared your reflections on moving, it is definitely often either an idealized or demonized process, while in reality, it is neither... Good luck with your next move :p

I also moved abroad a month to a different new environment and I have been struggling a lot. Thank you for making this video, I felt more safe knowing that the tips and life lessons you shared made sense to me and helped me a lot.

This feels like a big sister advice & comfort kind of talk, & I think that is just so beautiful that you can communicate this well to people & that shows how open you are allowing yourself to become! This feels so important for me to hear right now especially as I am in my last year of uni in my home country before moving to Japan to finally be with my boyfriend and get married soon. It feels scary but also incredibly cathartic, and I think you summed up this unique feeling through your words but also the way that you emote and move your hands in this video. This makes me feel that you are such a genuine and full of love person & I just know that you will make the right relationships that nurture you when it is time to do so because of how intuitive and reponsive to energy you seem. I wish only the best for you in your life, Romy!

Thank you so much for your beautiful message Haley, it warms my heart! 💕 congratulations for your engagement and future move to Japan, this is such an exciting experience! I totally understand your fear - but it’s also what makes this change so right and it will allow you to grow so much 💕 i have no doubt you will make this new place a home you can feel safe in and build genuine relationships there as well! In the meantime, good luck with your final year of uni! Sending all my love. take care 🥰
