TRAVEL TIPS AND ADVICE ON DEALING WITH HOME SICKNESS:
“I LOVE TRAVELING!
But I hate leaving you

One of my goals is to see the entire world! Meet new people, taste new foods, experience new cultures. I desire to also have business in over 80 countries, right now it’s just over 11 meaning 12 LOL!
It's inevitable that at some point in your travels you'll find yourself feeling homesick. It happens to everybody who travels at some point, and can be extremely debilitating. There's not much you can do to prevent it happening and you'll find it sneaks up on you when you least expect it -- maybe a restaurant reminds you of your mom's home cooking, or a photo of your friends at a party without you pops up your Facebook feed -- whatever it is, it can leave you feeling depressed for days.
1. Take Some Time Out For Yourself.
Book a private room in a hostel or hotel, fast Wi-Fi and a hot shower. I'll buy huge chocolate bars, download some of my favorite TV shows, and spend the day in bed to yourself. I'll go for a massage or a spa day, get a haircut, or read a book in a park. I'll FaceTime with friends and family back home and let them know I miss them. It's all about bringing a sense of normality into your life when traveling.
2. Buy Gifts for Loved Ones
If you're missing friends and family, why not go on shopping spree and buy some gifts to send them? If you don't have much room in your backpack then you can send a couple a postcards to let them know you're thinking of them.
You'll feel reconnected to the people you love, and know for sure they're still thinking about you. A selfless good deed will help lift your mood, as well!
3. Pray & Remember how grateful your life really is!!!
4. Make sure you eat healthy, drink a lot of water & exercise because it no fun missing home & being sick
