Sweetie Healthcare, Um maybe in the UK.

Because I have a lot of family there, or I mean, dream a reach New York.

But that's I think a lot of you would say that too.

Yeah, the UK Think if you were to move to friends.

What do you think would be the hardest things to get used to living there?

Um, I think culture.

I guess there's a lot of things that people are just used to being around that you like.

I don't really remember that.

You have to learn.

So that and then also language I honestly don't know Soon ends like, perfect.

Have you noticed any difference is living here in Toronto?

Um, not really.

Honestly, it's It's pretty much the same to me.

I have enjoyed the weather, whether it's sucks, but, uh, think I enjoy the people.

Yeah, everyone's was really nice.

Have you ever felt homesickness?

Yeah, definitely.

So when I first moved to this university, I was very homesick.

Um, I'm like from a kind of rural town.

So I missed, like, fields and trees, even though there are a lot of trees just not enough.

Yeah, I would say the first couple of years, but I moved here.

I was definitely homesick.

I miss my family, my friends, but I stopped communicating along the ways like I'm not as Yeah, I know.

I don't like I feel bad, but I guess homes like it's just not my priority.

Didn't really get that because of my whole family.

Moved here with me.

And then it was another grandma.

My grandma also visit us, so I didn't really get that much.

What is something that you would miss about here if you moved abroad?

I don't know.

I guess the sense of community wherever you go, everyone's just really I don't know.

I don't want to say that we're perfect, but we're very accepting.

And so I think that I don't know and my friends and miss him.

Yeah, the food I wouldn't miss because the food's not anything special here, but yeah, what do you do when you feel homesick?

I try to listen to music for most, like, not formal slaughter specifically, but like music in Spanish.

At least call my friends stuff like that.

I like to talk to my family.

So I would call him when he was abroad or my mom or something.

Yeah, I just forced myself to get out more into, like, no more about the city, because then it kind of starts feeling like your home.

Like, what does home mean to you?

Uh, I guess it means like wherever my community is like now.

I mean, I just moved to Canada, but she's been here longer, but it feels a lot like home because she's here.

So, yeah, wherever my family and my friends are like, I definitely feel more at home or my family's there as opposed to, like, a specific place.

So, yeah, Tron is home.

Now that he's here, what does home mean to you?

I don't know people.

The people that you love and care about and who love and care about you as long as you're with them, he could be home anywhere.

Um, I think a lot of things home is kind of where you are, but it's also like a feeling like sometimes you could live somewhere, not feel like home until you decorate it.

Um, and then sometimes home, it's just people me a song.

As my family and the people I recognize and consider a family, I I mean, I'm here with my family, too.
