I had the honor of being interviewed by Expats Blog a little while ago and the interview is now up. If you’d like to hear some of my takes on being a transplant, please head over to the original post.

It always seems people are running from and to. It was my case years ago. I felt like I belong in Japan of all places and pursued the culture relentlessly. Looking back, I think I needed to understand and see my own home from another angle– from a distance perhaps. Then I understood what a wonderful place it was and returned. I can barely cross a state boarder now without being homesick.

That is really beautiful too. It made you see where you belong. That’s a good thing.

That is a fantastic interview, Sandra! Very deep insights to what your move was about and what it means to move to a completely different part of the world. Also great tips for visitors or those who consider moving to Australia!

Thank you, Erika. I’m always open to help people out discovering this beautiful country. I just had one of the nurses, who looked after my Dad in the very end and who was supposed to travel to Down Under Under cancel on the trip. I felt so great giving her all those little tips. Now I’m torn. Unfortunately she got very sick. Now I wonder if I made her feel worse for not being able to most likely ever see all of what I’ve mentioned. Life takes very sudden turns. xoxo

Yes, we never know what happens in the next minute. That’s why it is so important to be aware and make use of every moment. I am sure that however the health situation of your Dad’s nurse will develop at least you gave her a beautiful way of seeing a country she hasn’t been to yet!

Though the interview was geared more to “expats” I truly appreciate and am glad that you shared your viewpoint as a “transplant.” I guess I could say then that I was an expat in Brentwood but am more of a transplant in Oak Ridge. Reading this interview helped me to crystallize my own thoughts on the subject, the words and the differences between the two.

Good! Sometimes hearing (or reading) someone else’s thoughts make things clearer, like in my case with your post and feeling like a transplant. X
