It’s difficult when you’re completely alone, without a partner. But it makes you stronger I think
Hey there. I'm an international student. I've come to Toronto for 7 months. Everything seems good in the beginning. Nevertherless, I have felt homesick recently. I found your video while I was searching How to deal with homesick. Living alone abroad is not easy for me in term of emotion even though I'm an introvert. Even though I mentally prepare for myself in advance, it's kinda tough to deal with homesick in reality. Once, I woke up in the morning, I thought that I'm lying on my bed in my home. Then few seconds later, I realized that I'm in Canada.. I miss my mom, my sister, brother so bad. I think this is also a good experience in my life. I know how much family is important. Anyway, I'm still homesick
Lol parents watching this will say have kids then you will not have the time to even think about these 😂
I was thinking the same 😂
Exactly!!
If you can't go to India, then bring your parents to Canada 😇
I think it's not easy for everyone to get adapted to a new environment, culture. Specially for those who have lived all of their life at one place
She won't... as she's a natunki
It would be difficult for all of them to live in a small condo
Why would parents come here leaving such a beautiful culture and family back home. They deserve to live with their roots traditions and culture
It feels so sad to watch your video.. I am sure you are trying your best to live in the new environment. Ahh! peekapoo family must be so worried after watching the video.. always high spirited.. long staycation in india awaited for the girl.. 💃💃
Hey Peekapoo!
I'm an international student here in Toronto and I came here in my second semester in late January. The time I've been here, the province has continually been in lockdown. I had no friends when I came here, I knew no one in the first 14 days of quarantine, so I kept in touch with family back home. Even after that, I had no friends for about a month. In the starting, I admit I felt lonely as I saw other groups of friends going out for walks. But here, I noticed something. What I say next may be a bit different than usual, but it seems to me that we can either be: alone but not lonely, or lonely but not alone...
It's on us... Now I've been more of a solitary person my entire life, as in, I find enjoyment in being with myself. And so I thought to myself, "Hey!, you're in a new country, new environment, there's so many new sights to see, why not enjoy yourself the way you did back in India?"
And I swear, just thinking that has drastically changed the way I look at things now. Yes, I have friends now, and we hang out a couple of times a week. BUT, the time that I spend with myself, I would deem that far more valuable to me. This solves the issue of homesickness for me too. I have problems with food here because I'm vegetarian, but I've been able to find Indian restaurants which mimic Indian taste almost identically.
All in all, I term this a very unique experience, lets think onto the future in good spirits, because this is a great place to be!
This is the kind of content I appreciate! It balances the lifestyle videos and helps us know the reality of life abroad. We can handle the good, the bad and the ugly.
You told everyone that not to feel discouraged. But I cried throughout the video. I moved to Canada last month alone. Those First fourteen days of quarantine were the toughest days of my life. I am also a Cancerian by the way so you probably know how much I cried 🥺.
Also, I just love your content. Keep growing and stay safe.
Lots of love 💜💜
I’m too rn in quarantine
It feels so bad
How are you now ?
How are u doin now
I will not see the video coz tip is have coffee eat food do online shopping and leave your job
Honestly this was the best video of your channel. I literally cried. I am planning for fall 2022. And I cannot relate to you but just the thought leaving family behind makes me sick. I think you just gave a insight of what's waiting for me. Much love to you both.
It's tough for sure! I've had rollercoaster emotions through this entire pandemic in the past year and a half. But as you said make time for the people that you love and talk to them as much as you can it makes a huge difference! 💕
I had gone through this and Can totally relate to it.I came the same year 2019 july with my husband and when the covid hit I realised the importance of having family by your side.Thanks for the video and I know that you are strong
Be thankful you have all the modern gadgets and apps to keep you in touch with people far away in real-time. Even until the late 80s, calling back home was a luxury because international phone calls were so expensive.
What an unnecessary comment. So dismissive
I agree. When my parents came to the US from India in 1970 they had to write letters that would take one month to reach. No phones and no Indian food available in the US.
Thank you for being open about your feelings. It comforted me more than you could imagine.
Love your positive spirit! Just started following you off lately and have been binge watching your videos since then ! Totally love your editing skills and also the content.
You have such a positive vibe and not to forget amazing dressing sense. Please share some styling tips too whenever you can.
I am grateful i came across this channel of yours :) more power to you. Keep rocking
Awesome video!!! We can feel you Pooja!!! Stay strong and be positive always
Also please don't spoil your relation with Saransh. I understand that he has fought his way through until here and can't think of returning to India too soon
This was a much needed video. Thanks for sharing this Pooja. More love and strength to you ❤️❤️
Needed this so much .Thank you
Of course I love this type of videos... It shows up your truly lovely self!! Hope you keep being strong and soon get to see your lovely ones.❤️
Peekapoo..You have come to a new country at this time of Covid where everything is restricted now ..nowhere to go ..when things get better I am sure you will feel better and enjoy the outside .We too miss our family back home but when you have good friends they become your chosen family..It’s hard and life here is definitely busy but becomes lonely at times...once you are able to visit your family you will want to come back to your life here soon .
I genuinely think, that this type of videos is the best. I've lived abroad with my family for 10 years and now I'm not with them back at my home country. No one is talking about the real cons of moving abroad. I think it is very important to show this side especially to people who have never lived abroad. Your videos just keep on getting better and better. 😄
Such a fabulous honest video! I can completely relate to you ...it is really difficult to live without your family. ...your tips are amazing! You are such a positive beautiful person!
Baby .... U are living in Future ... Mini India... Right Now ... What happened if U move or settle in Mexico ... Than ... U think that U R in right place now ..(I was in Toronto 2006 to 2009)... Just Enjoy there.
Whatever you’re going through, have been there and done all that tips. Though it has made me lil strong but deep down we all know that childhood was the best❣️
This is was so helpful plus please don't cry di I can feel you!❤️ And yes I would love to watch you talk your heart out! This video was so relaxing 😩😌
Thank you Peekapoo, I was afraid of one situation in my life, and today's video helped me , I gained confidence.
Just wanna say thank you❤️
OMG Peekapoo you made me cry!!! 😪 I live in Mumbai with my husband and 2 grown up kids.
Being the only child , losing my parents within a span of 2 years , 25 years back was the hardest thing for me to cope with .
So I can imagine how you must be feeling being away from yours .
But just remember one thing that you can meet them if not this year maybe the next and you can talk to them or even see them on video call. So be positive and be thankful to God and pray for the well being of your loved ones. Take care !!! ❤️
More power to this strong sensibile lady 💕
You crying breakes my heart Pooja...:-( I am glad you have found these tips to overcome home sickness and yes i would love to see this kind of content from u in the future!
Pooja , I really feel for you. I moved to Toronto 2 months ago and although i stayed within the same country I moved provinces and I agree that it gets hard at times. But dont worry, never fee l like you’re alone in this because we’re all here to support you.
Aaaw honey bunny! Hugs to you. And thanks for sharing this very informative video. I know homesickness is something big I'll have to deal with when I move to Canada. The two major issues I pick from you are: that my relationship with my fam will change (I absolutely don't want that to happen) and that being away from my family will be a long-term thing not just a little vacay. Pilau is a very popular dish in East Africa!
Don’t worry 😉
Everything will be fine ❤️
Big fan 🥰
Love your videos!!! 🙏
Love and respect ✊
I stopped video at 6:45 , took my car and went to see my parents.
Thanks god I can see them touch them and share all in my mind with them. 😊
I’m in the same situation but..
Don’t worry, we’re here with you❤️
Lots of love x🥰
The best video! Kudos to you and please start making more videos like these :)
Thanks for making a video on this topic. Most bloggers just make videos on positive points. I experienced the same loneliness in US when I was there and decided to come back
I agreed with your point on what use is the more money or better lifestyle if we cannot share it with our loved ones. I wish you all the best and slowly your will get used to it.
Kudos to you Pooja ! And yes, good times are just around the corner ❤️
Been feeling the same way for quite sometime now. The anxiety of when I’d see my parents next is so hard to deal 😢
Pooja...please do continue making such videos ❤️ cried my eyes out... Best video I watched today 🙏🏻
I arrived two months ago to Canada. I feel so sad sometimes, I wish I could make good friends soon, it’s not the same as family but I hope it helps me, keep strong everybody out there!
Hi Pooja just saw your video , I must say this is the most expressive video I have seen of yours in last 1 year, you have a true heart and these emotions are necessary for you to express , stay safe and stay strong , I can only say ***Tough times never last but tough people do**
So be happy and take care of yourself and saransh a great support to you cheers !!!
Oh wow..I recently moved as well and I feel the the exact way you feel.Even some of the exact same things you said I have said about my move. Thank you for sharing this
Aww peekaboo you are strong and you know it ... good things are tuff. It’s okay to vent out lockdown has got into people
Thank you so much for this video!!
I just came to have not even completed one month over here. And every day I just feel more and more alone and feel like going back home but I know that is not an option for me. Thank you so much for this video, it really helped a lot and made it easier for me to smile a little today. Thank you
Hell.. it is tough. Kudos to you for surviving a whole year and a half just by yourselves (majorly). But I guess if any positive that you can derive out of this situation is of Growth mindset. Love 🌈
Kuddos to you Pooja for saying that out loud we all feel it but are scared to say it upfront. Sending you lots of love and warmth. Keep up your honest self 💖💖💖
I can understand your situation 😌
I know how you are going through this phase . Be strong every thing will be ok
You made me cry and I am not even in Canada as yet. But moving this year hopefully and I keep thinking about how I will leave my family behind. It was lovely to hear your experience and love the tips. Thank You Peekapoo :-)
It’s tough I moved recently
Stay strong Pooja , love your videos ❤️
I can relate to you. If it is ok to ask, why did you guys move to Canada? I mean most people move either due to money, career or kids. From what Ive seen you guys were doing pretty well in India in all aspects. What was the reason for the move if I may ask?
POOJA WE UNDERSTAND HOW YOU FEEL! BUT REMEMBER THAT WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE AND SUPPORT YOU!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
😭 I'm feeling homesick since we arrived here in Canada last May 2021. I really want to go back home. 💔
💓Love it 🥰 I can feel you.
( It looks like a TV series too 🥲 u made us cry and happy)
Hey honey.. ik the void of family is irreplacable. But spritually its also a shackle which resist u to grow. U found opportunities here..and its so strong of u flourishing by breaking those shakles but with the same love . Unknowingly u just exhibit the real love.. love is freedom... god bless u dear. I hope u both fr being successful , happy and healty♥️
Thank you for creating authentic content
Don’t worry we’re with you ❤️❤️
You are not alone in this. I have my daughter and son living alone in BC and Ontario respectively since 2019 and going through the same home sickness. We miss each other too
You made my day thank you so much lots of love love love
Heyyy this is my first time dropping a comment here... but I feel you.. i dropped a couple of tears watching you!! I stay in Toronto and I just can’t wait to see my family again🥲
Hey pooja....we acknowledge wht u've shared with us....thnx fr putting ur heart out and inspiring lots of people out there❤️❤️👍👍
Watching your videos literally makes me feel that I've known you since ages, also brings smile as soon as I see notification of your videos.
Lots of love to you and saransh💜
Hey peekapoo....don't worry Sis. We r with you always no matter what. stay strong😊
Hey Pooja... I can understand your feelings dear... Family is such a beautiful and secure place. I am also away from my dad, sis and bro after my mom passed away. It's very difficult sometimes to be silent at times. So speak it loud and express it.
Hey Pooja
I can totally understand your situation.
Feeling homesick is absolutely fine. I have had my lonely days as well while away from home for study and work.
I will suggest you to visit your family for some time. The situation is getting a little better in India now. Just be careful and it should be safe to travel. People are allowed to board flight only after getting tested, so you get a little assurance there. And since Saransh and you both can manage work from home as of now, you should definitely use up this time.
Trust me you will come back refreshed and happier than ever!
Your vlogs are so happy and positive and i am sure you try to be the same off camera as well. Love your editing and content!
Best wishes :)
Hi Pooja , I only started looking at your videos about three weeks ago and I’m hooked on them...I started from when you arrived in Canada until this one ( miss out some in between) I love your cheerfulness... I do understand how you feel because I’ve gotten Covid and was in hospital and after was is in isolation for a long while and still don’t come out because I’m so scared to be out there...I didn’t see my parents going in three months... I video call but it’s not the same so I could just imagine how you feel 🙏 and I’m very happy you shared it with us... love you guys 🥰❤️🙏
And dear please stay as connected to nature as much u can.not just by feeling it.. also physically.. like adopting ayurveda and natural herbs in your diet and doing proper yoga and assana. It will protect u from diseases like covid and god knows whats after.
Hey dear thanks so much for your amazing videos on your channel, I am planning to come to Canada on January and I watched all your videos and now I feel I get familiar with Toronto and all situations, You and your husband are very positive and you guys make me so motivated about hard situations. on this video I feel how hard is missing family and I wish I can handle it once I reach Canada but I am really thankful that you share all your feeling for us and I hope I can meet u one day in Toronto and I really like to be your friend as I like your positive and energetic personality. Cheers and can't wait to see more videos. Good Luck
just addicted to your videos everyday..lots of love from dubai❤️
I so relate with this video , staying away from home , I have lived in the us for about five years , I miss my boyfriend and my family ❤️❤️ I can completely understand
I am with you mam.. lots of love for you❤️❤️❤️
If this can provide some comfort dear friend... totally get you. My dad passed away and I couldn't see him touch him for the last time... awful. My sister had a baby boy and my cousins got married I wasn't there. Relationships do change drastically.. we realize we cant be there for them its painful. You are an amazing person with a beautiful heart so u feel wat u feel. You are not alone in this journey. Love and best wishes sis :)
Sister you don't take a tention I'm always with you on your insta 'n' UA-cam
ohh hooo😂
@@karanveersinghnagpal7710 🤣
I can understand you totally
Am going through the same thing and am all alone here without anyone since 19 months in canada. Stay strong and for sure soon you will be close to them inshallah ☺️
Aww ..I can feel it..I came to Canada in December 2019..and since then have been trying hard to see my family..but as soon as the restrictions are eased will just pack my bags and fly to India...the steps you mentioned to combat homesickness actually helps as I have practiced almost all of them...so we just should consider each other as our Canadian family and share our hearts out... also very soon should be able to meet our loved ones..Amen
updates??...did you visit India?
Heyy, did you meet them?
Me and my husband shifted to Canada too back in 2018 and since we couldn’t go to India. We had our ups and downs too. I haven’t met my nephew, he is a lockdown 👶. Couldn’t go. My husband lost his real jiju we couldn’t go😞. We can’t wait to see them. So, yes you are not alone. Be strong and yes accept, cry that’s okay. I do that too. Take care.
Family is going no where... Don't cry you are an inspiration..... We are also your family.... Your UA-cam family... I love you ❤
I really love to watch videos from Sri Lanka and I would like to say stay safe and strong. Good Luck ...!!!
Thanks for encouraging words
Don’t be sad .soon this time will be over . You r a strong girl . Do whatever you like. Engage your self with different activities.
Liked your smile face😃😃😃😃 takecare ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I don't know why.. but you literally deserve million subscribers. Lots of love 😍😍💘
Have fun with it and be strong!
Amazing video pooja...👍
Hey pooja... don't worry you are a strong girl ... this pandemic affect everyone's life...
My husband is in Canada from December 2019 and I stuck here in India.......
We are dealing with long distance from last 1.6 year .... on 12th day of our marriage he was in flight.....
You have Saransh with you... soo be positive... be happy ....
And you are such a strong and positive girl
Living in abroad is not easy but you managed things very nicely ....
So think about good things think about what you have and enjoy.... keep smiling
Hey Pooja..dont cry. Being here in the same country I have not seen my family since last one year. It feels so weird..especially being stuck at home with no one to talk to..nothing to do apart from work eat sleep..I often feel so depressed. But dont worry we will get through this. We will surely meet our family the soonest. Cheer up girl ❤️
Life sach m hard h yha
Hey don't cry dear, smile😃 looks much better on your face. So keep smiling
We love your smile dear
I'm a cancerian too...I can totally understand your sensitivity when it comes to all these emotions.
Very sweet and cute video. Pooja I so agree with all your good tips.. they are so real and helpful. Love Tazzy
great video, I was shocked to feel homesick, but I have been so much. The pandemic has made it worse because we cannot travel for visits. :( But at the same time, I do still love it here. It's an unusual clash of emotions.
Hi, pooja my husband he is in Toronto and I am in india with in laws and a daughter 7 years old. since 3 years ago.and we still waiting for our PR process not completed yet.
1 don't burry your feelings
2 video call to family members no matter what
3 carry own family tradition-food, morning song etc
4 you are responsible for your own happiness
5 embrace loneliness
6 get out of your comfort zone
7 have fun
8 be strong
9 figure it out by yourself
sooooo niceeee
love you POOO
That advice on 14:46 is so relatable 👌👌👌
Omg!! I bawled my eyes out🥺🥺🥺 I’ve been in Toronto for the last 5.5 years and have seen my family only once since then. Last time I saw them was 3 years ago and it makes me cry every time I think about them. I miss my parents l, my grandparents and everyone else. They’re getting old and I’m not spending that time with them. I can imagine what you must be going through. I am here all by myself and it just makes me so emotional every time I think about my family back home 😢
That is the reason I m not able to tk this step of moving to canada
Why don't you visit them more often? Or invite them?
@@bhavikashah8221 As Pooja said too, this shouldn’t discourage you and it’s not that I’m unhappy. I am in a good place, a better country but yes that empty feeling will be there but it is what it is. Not for a single minute I regret my decision to move to Canada.
@@shreya9978 but I feel my parents r getting old and want to spend more and more time with them
@@bhavikashah8221 makes sense.
Yes Same feeling here. We near to complete 1st year in Canada.
Better hua Kuch ?
It's true.Nothing can replace home.To stay with loved ones is the real asset in our life.That is the actual definition of life.
Hi. Great vlog. u hv grown as a person. Way to go girl.
So so relatable…I live in Stockholm with my partner and have exactly the same issues. Always lived with siblings and now here all alone….it sucks… especially during this time of the year when the festivals come up. It feels like there always will be a void in the life no matter what you achieve.
I really agree with you bye
Hey pooja , I feel you very much I left my parents in turkey in 2018 and moved back to Canada after 10 years but alone this time , worked for a year then I got married and moved to the US, I’m grateful for everything but lately I’ve been crying a lot too and I feel youuuuu cuz I miss my family and parents soo muchhhh these days. It will be 2 years since I moved to the US and as much as I am grateful as much as I just wish my parents were closer so I could go for weekend visits and drive up to them. So I feel you 💔😢❤️ getting very emotional now, I’m a ball of emotions too ! Thanks for sharing your video @peekapoo
Uh Peekapoo! I didn’t see my family and my husband since 2015😭 I cry every day because of my feelings about them. Unfortunately, because I didn’t get my PR yet, I can’t Leave the country. My heart hurts and I pray that I can go see them soooooon. You too Peekapoo I hope you can go to Indian soon😊
