Having to move from one environment to another is unquestionably difficult, especially if these two places pose different norms and cultures. 

In this episode, we're back to just the two of us again! As Nadhira prepares to return back to Indonesia more permanently after quite a while, we decide to touch upon culture shock and reverse culture shock; what they are, and the possible reasons behind why they happen. We also reflect on what we both previously have experienced firsthand: what Nadhira felt about the culture shock when she first moved to Qatar and then about the reverse culture shock whenever she goes back to Indonesia, and how Jessica tackled the reverse culture shock when she moved back to Indonesia after spending some time studying abroad in Malaysia and in the UK.

We hope that this discussion can be beneficial and relatable to you, especially to those of you who might have just moved abroad for the first time and those of you who have just returned back to your home countries after having spent a considerable amount of time abroad.
