    I'm currently abroad in Nantes, France. My semester here is four months long. I am halfway through and my depression has begun to hit me very hard. You've described many feelings that I am currently having and I just wanted to say thank you. It's helpful to realize that I'm not a freak for not enjoying my time abroad as much as people expect me to. I'm trying to stay strong.

      I am so sorry to hear that youre experience depression while abroad :( trust me, I know how hard that can be. I honestly felt the same way-- like something was wrong with me for not enjoying being out of the country. But I'm glad this video helped you. Honestly I've been going through a bit of depression myself and havent posted recently. but your comment is getting me motivated to share my story and make more videos for other people who are struggling to see. So thank you for that. If you need someone to talk to please dont hesitate to reach out to me!

    I’m abroad in Argentina right now and my depression is very bad and I feel guilty for it everyday. I’m trying so hard to cope with it but nothing is working right now. It‘s so disappointing that I’m not taking advantage of my time here, and I’m jealous of everybody on this program that isn’t feeling this way. I also feel so alone since I don’t want to bring down anyone on this trip, and I don’t want to bother anyone at home with how awful I feel when they think I should be having the time of my life. Thanks for making this video!

      Don't worry. Just think about what you do enjoy about Argentina. I taught English in South Korea for a year and sometimes I hated it. It gets hard, but I bet you that some in your group have problems with Argentina too. Just enjoy the small things.

    I love to travel like you. I have some feelings of needing to demonstrate having fun, but just do what you want. It you think things couldhave been better then just enjoy yourself better the next time. Don't worry.

      I went to Lima, Peru. I didn't go to Machu Pichu. I hope to go the next time.

    I actually faced the same experience when I went to china as an exchange student for two months. I was in all these amazing places but by the end of my trip I felt so drained and alone. I felt so depressed. Not being able to take advantage of the time I had there makes me feel bad. So I really know what you're saying, I'm glad you're travelling again though. I haven't really found the fire to travel again since and it's been more than a year now.

    Aw, I definitely understand where your coming from. Being in a different environment can be a challenge but I went to china to study abroad and I loved it but I just subscribed and I hope you can do the same for me and check out my videos sometime.
