Hi there,
My name is Meike and I moved to the United States from Germany back in 2005. My other half is a scientist and wanted to do his post doctorate work in Berkeley, California – how could I refuse? It was meant as a five-year stay at the maximum but somehow we are still here. Life is what happens while you make other plans I guess.
We have a good life here, our kids were born here, we made friends and are quite settled in. But still I keep wondering what our life back “home” would look like and longing to return to where we came from – or something close to it. All the rest of our family is back in Europe, maybe a little more scattered than when we left but still. I think that is my main reason why I am homesick from time to time – now that we have children of our own more than ever.
Still wondering and trying to make sense of it all and enjoying life that happens on the way.
Home here and there
