I (28F) am originally from Canada, and on WHV in New Zealand. Being in the southern hemisphere has been really great, but also really challenging because I’m so far from my family and friends. I have decided that I won’t stay beyond my visa, which makes me wonder…what’s next?

I have contemplated doing another working holiday somewhere (and have dreamed about living in the UK)—but I am a little worried that I’ll face the same core issues of feeling unsettled and temporary in a place.

I get the feeling that this is a common problem people at my age encounter, so my question is: how have those of you who have experimented with living in new places managed to “figure it out”?
