Hi Kaitlyn, thanks for reading. I love your attitude. Yes, it’s a big adjustment and it’s easy to feel homesick. But it’s also really cool to experience new things in another culture. If you get the chance, just be brave and make the most of it!

I’ve never celebrated a holiday overseas, but I’m sure I will at some point during my relationship seeing as that my boyfriend is in the military. The holidays are huge for me. October-December are my most favorite and cherished months full of ALL THE HOLIDAY THINGS. I will say that I’ve gotten a taste for other cultures’ way of celebrating since meeting my current boyfriend. It’s pretty cool to broaden your horizons and experience something outside of your comfort zone, especially during the months that are so precious to most people rooted in tradition. Thanks for sharing!

My family wasn’t military, but when we lived overseas my mom brought a collection of seasonally-scented candles and tablecloths. The scents were familiar and made especially fall and Christmas feel more homey when it was so hot out! The tablecloths were fun and easy to pack.
