Feeling a bit home-sick

[Ramiro]

I am searching for some advice here.

This Febuary, I moved to Ireland with my family cause my dad was positioned here for a few months. I am really missing home and feel home-sick since then. I don't really have any friends here and up until the spanish students came over I used to just stay at home every night. I miss being around my friends and being just at home!! I hope to return home soon enough, either with my family or to stay with family.

I just need to know how I can survive the next few months!

Well its tough being in a different country if it feels kind of temporary and its always going to be difficult leaving friends behind. I guess the weather is probably a bit different to what you're used to as well. Really the best thing would be if you were able to make some friends where you are. Irish people are normally very friendly and outgoing, maybe you need to give them a chance.

Do you have any hobbies, can you find someone with the same interests? Or if you know someone else has a hobby try asking them about it.
