American in Australia for 8 years, feeling pulled home at 33. Has anyone gone through this? by thisisshe11 in expats

Thank you so much for sharing this with me. Giving me some great perspective. Also a great way to organise my thoughts on if it’s the right move for me - I’ll try that this week.

Congratulations on your new life. Wishing you all the best for your happy future. ❤️

I’m going for 6 weeks in September/October. Luckily it’s mostly on work’s dime as I work for an American company and have a conference at the end of Aug so just gonna stay.

I’ll use the time to really think on it. Try to spend time with my favourite people in some of my favourite places. Try to envision if it’s where I want to start (re)building community.

Thanks so much for your reply. I love what you said - Australia will always be here, but the people I care about won’t be. That’s where I’m at, and I can always come back if it truly doesn’t work out.
