@rickyisaan: What happens when the adventure of living overseas becomes your everyday reality? After five years living in rural Thailand, I’ve noticed how much my perspective has changed. What once felt foreign and exciting is now completely normal. Thailand is home. It’s an interesting feeling because I’ve built a family here. My children are growing up in Thailand, and so many of my connections and everyday experiences are now here too. Of course, I still miss my family, friends and certain aspects of life back in Australia. But I’ve also noticed how different Australia feels to me after just five years away. I can only imagine that feeling will grow stronger with time. It’s strange how the country you moved to becomes familiar, while the country you grew up in slowly feels more distant. For those who’ve lived overseas for many years, does returning to your home country start to feel like the real adventure? #ExpatLife #LivingAbroad #LivingInThailand #AustralianExpat #LifeOverseas

Seventy year old retiree here, I have very little left to miss back home, it also helps if you are the type to enjoy travel, experiencing a new way of life. As Paul Young sang: Wherever I Lay My Hat that's my home!

Andrew Ling :

Happy for you to raise your kids in Thailand. Thai people are hard working, peaceful, good mannered & generally friendly. You’re young and you make connections wherever you live.

I think you came to Thailand with no fixed expectations, you sure weren't thinking "I'll go there to live in the country and start a family" It's all evolved for you and it's perfect 👌 ❤️
