Feeling lonely abroad: what no one says (but many experience)

11 August 2025

Feeling lonely abroad: what if you’re not the only one?

An invisible yet very real loneliness

You have a social life, friends, maybe a job. And yet… a vague feeling lingers: that of being alone, misunderstood, far from what feels like you. This solitude, gentle yet heavy, is more common than you might think.

Expatriation doesn’t always rhyme with fulfillment

We often believe that living abroad means adventure and freedom. But expatriation also comes with its share of dissonance, silences, and unseen adjustments. And sometimes, what you feel is a kind of absence… even in the middle of the world.

You have nothing to prove, just a real space for yourself

It’s not about being strong or holding on. It’s about listening to what your heart whispers. Daring to give yourself a moment, away from roles, away from expectations. A moment to breathe, release, and feel.

What if you were simply… reconnecting with yourself?

At Wellness Voyages, we support expatriate women through 2-day wellness breaks near their homes, to rebuild connections—with themselves and with other women experiencing the same things, silently.

? Take this time for yourself. You’re not alone, truly not.
