@aaron.the.rn: 5 things I’m most excited about when I go back to the Philippines 🇵🇭 1️⃣ Time with family & friends I only get to go home about once a year, so every visit feels precious. This time, I just want to be present — long conversations, laughter, and making up for the moments I missed. 2️⃣ The food (obviously 😅) Lechon manok. Siomai. Palabok. Fresh fruits. Cebu mangoes. All the kakanin. Nothing tastes the same anywhere else. Food at home just hits different. 3️⃣ How far your money goes Earning in dollars really changes things. You can stay somewhere comfortable, eat well, and enjoy experiences without constantly worrying about breaking the bank. 4️⃣ Walking and commuting Living in Florida means driving everywhere. I didn’t realize how much I’d miss walking, commuting, and just being out in the streets. I look forward to biking and swimming as well if I get the chance. 5️⃣ Speaking my native language The jokes. The expressions. The ease of conversation. There’s a different kind of comfort when you don’t have to explain yourself. Lahi ra gyud ang binuang sa mga bisaya - this i what I miss the most. I’m taking a short 3-week vacation back home, and I’m really hoping to soak all of this in 🤍 If you’re an overseas Filipino worker, what’s the one thing you always look forward to most when you go home? Comment them below — I’d love to hear your thoughts 🙂 #nurses #philippines #nursinglife #ofw #filipino
