Living abroad never felt so hardHazel StevensLondonMy boyfriend and I moved to London in the summer of 2012. Anyone living away from home will be able to relate to the thoughts of “that” phone call. Living abroad never felt so hard until the lockdown happened – until we were told we couldn’t go back home, flights grounded and transport halted. This situation has definitely changed how I feel about living away from Ireland. Having left Ireland in 2015, living in Scotland for two years and Vietnam for almost three, I would consider myself well accustomed to living away from home and assimilating.
