    New Zealand has always felt like home to me, I studied abroad back in 2020 right before the pandemic hit and got to stay for a month before having to come home to the US. It was the only place I felt authentically me and I didnt pretend to be someone I wasn't. I promised myself once I graduated college I would move back to NZ and stay for a long period (3-5 years) fast forward three years, this year 2023, and I am now living in New Zealand, doing a graduate degree for teaching and then am going to teach here, dreams do come true😍

    Fellow Minnesotan here! I can totally understand the feeling of home not literally at home. I am currently temporarily in Ireland for a little over a month and I also was here 3 years ago for a study abroad semester and there’s a reason I came back haha like I literally just feel so serene and at peace here and the nature and beauty of the country just always feels magical. ❤️

    I lived in London for just under 2 years and it was honestly the best time of my life. I made such great friends and fell in love with the city! Enjoy your time and if you do decide to up and move, you will not regret it! Just make sure to thoroughly read through the visa application because the refund process can take up to 3-6 months if it’s messed up. Oh and I did find using my debit card through contactless on my phone was much easier than an oyster card when using the public transport. ❤❤❤

    I resonate with this so much ! moving across the world years ago was scary at the time but now I feel at home because of the friendships I've built. as you said, *"relationships are the most important thing in life,"* and sometimes life coerces you to step out of your comfort zone to make those lifelong memories 💖

    I traveled to Switzerland over the summer and the people and views were unmatched. I just felt so calm and at peace. The cobblestone streets and the strangers speaking over the quiet lull of the stream that ran through the city. I have never felt more safe in my life. The old ferris wheel that was seen by all, over the small barren trees. The quaint chocolate shops and the way the aroma filled the alleyways. Perfection. Absolute perfection.

    I've never lived in London, but i'm from France so I can go there quite often and for some reasons I NEED to go to London at least once a year, it's for the well-being of my mental health because that's where I feel the most me, I'm at ease, my social anxiety is almost nonexistent when i'm there. Also when I'm travelling to London I love to tell my friends "I'm going back home! 🥰" because somehow that's how it feels to me, it feels like home even if I don't live there

    My home away from home is Norway. Did my exchange semester there in 2019 and it was the most freeing 4 months of my life. Met people that will always be dear to me and felt like myself for the first time in forever. Every decision I made was for me and me alone. I found myself surrounded by like-minded beautiful people that also pushed my boundaries in the most sensible way and allowed me to be myself simply by them being themselves as well. Of course the situation of exchange semester is very unique and it will never be the same in Oslo when I come back because all these people are scattered around the world now, but I have so many wonderful memories.

    My number one dream is to be able to travel more, not being able to afford to leave my home much makes me feel so trapped. I feel like I won't start living until I get that freedom to see more of this world and experience it fully. I've wanted to move for as long as I can remember, I just hope I'll get the opportunity to do that and find a place where I belong. It's so hard being stuck in this limbo, but Connor's story makes me hope that there's more for me in the future after this confusing lonely stage of my life is over.

    it's so comforting to me to hear you say that things like home and where you belong make more sense as you grow older!! i am in my early twenties right now and moved out from my hometown (which i felt i was deeply rooted in and would never want to leave) to study somewhere else around one and a half years ago. and this year, i moved even further to the other side of the planet to study abroad for a year and its just. so! overwhelming! to switch between all these different places, getting used to new beautiful surroundings while missing my old homes and meeting so many new lovely people wherever i go that i will all eventually have to leave behind though. it's like you said, most of my closest and dearest relationships are long-distance now which keeps making me feel extremely torn apart and lost, yet also, i am somehow still doing fine?? it feels so scary, yet so good and exciting to explore these new places, continuously making me question where i belong and where i should go so it just feels so so reassuring and calming to hear that with time, it will all make more sense. thank you for that connor!!

    Ever since college, I haven't felt like I have been "home". Whether it was in my first dorm room, my apartment, or going back to my childhood house, I just haven't found that feeling in a place. What I realized was that my home isn't within a place but in the people in my life. That feeling radiates from a person now, and I can't wait to see all the other homes I will experience throughout this life.

    Very grateful to have visited many parts of this world but it means my heart is set in SO many places. I graduated college in December so I am yet again in another transitory phase. Funny-- I started looking for apartments then went to TH-cam for some background and this popped up. I'm not sure if I'll ever feel "at home" or maybe home is a composite of many different things. But I can't imagine myself living somewhere for more than maybe a year or a year and a half, which is exciting but also heartbreaking. So, you know. We'll see where life takes me.

I spent the first 2 weeks with friends I met online, which included celebrating my 23rd birthday, and the rest of the time I stayed with a family friend in her gorgeous estate just outside of London! I fell in love with that city as well; however I had also fallen in love with nyc earlier that year, as well as Montréal when I was a teenager!
    While I still feel at home in Minneapolis, the city I was born and grew up in, I hope one day I can have more opportunities to travel to and live in any of those other cities I visited before, along with any other parts of the world I'd love to see!

    I went to England & Scotland for just over two weeks once & it rained literally everyday but it wasn't too bad. It didn't rain all day every day. I had a raincoat with a hood & I went to museums & castles & palaces & cathedrals. I wasn't going on a beach vacation. I also went in July so it wasn't a cold rain.

    I spent 1 semester at uni in Porto, Portugal and since I'm coming back as often as possible. I'm a different person there and then whenever I'm back I'm implementing all the small things that make me happy in Porto into my life in Poland.

    hey! just responding to your little prompt at the end of the video. i've been DYING for a change of scenery lately - i live in a very small rural australian town, i turn 20 in a few months and have lived in this town all my life. this year literally every single one of my friends moved to the nearest capital city and i literally have been feeling so lost. your hometown can really leave you feeling stuck and weighed down - it really doesn't help that i live in a dysfunctional household with my parents and am a closeted queer girl.
    i have to remind myself frequently that, on the bright side, this is only a season and one day i'll be living my best life in a town/city far away from here. (not bold enough to move abroad lol). anyway, love you connor and am glad you've had such a fun time in london

    • @ConnorFranta
      @ConnorFranta  ปีที่แล้ว

      yeah, it's especially difficult making the leap the first time when you've lived in such "isolation". it's scary! there's a lot of unknowns. but, it always comforted me that I could always just... return. Anyways, sending you love! ❤

    I went to the UK but as much as I loved London, the Yorkshire County is the best region to be in. Criminally underrated. Also, the scenic beauty is (chef’s kiss)
    Next time, try Leeds with an outing to Whitby.

    I’ve lived in Ohio my entire life and have been more than ready for a change for awhile now, though it seems like something always pops up that delays this plan. I feel happiest and most at home in Boston, and the entire New England region in general. There’s just so much to love about it❤

    I feel kind of in limbo, where I know I’m moving out of one city but the one I’m moving back to doesn’t feel like home. Well, it’s where I’m from so it will always be home but it doesn’t feel like current home like where I’m meant to be (if that makes any sense). One thing I do know is that a place doesn’t make a home, the people do🥰

    I went to a writer's residency for the first time and didn't know what to expect. It was only 5 other artists and me. We all became really amazing friends and I felt myself in away I haven't been able to feel in such a long time (and since!). Four of them live in Chile (I live in US) and I miss them soooo much!

    You do look so damn adorable in this vid!(but also as always!) I would be so excited if you actually moved to London, it would actually make UK be a little more home for me believe it or not. Thinking about the possibility to bump into you in London is wild.😮

    this hits homeeeeee I lived in Osaka for four years before returning to my home country and I've never felt the same since. Cause those years abroad were the years I really came into myself and now I keep wondering whether I should move back there or not. It's like I have two lives on two opposite ends of the world and I can never have both so I'll always be missing one or the other, which ever I choose. I can't winnnnnn so anyways this is why I really think we should be working our sience brains and make teleportation a thing already
