In this episode, Alex Loh leads the conversation and I contemplate what it means to leave the country that has been my home for the last eleven years and repatriate to Manchester; a city I last lived in when I was eighteen.
We discuss reaching the decision to move and beginning the process of detachment from the close community. We explore the question is repatriation harder than expatriation?
The need to say goodbye and the importance of revisiting, walking, eating and taking photographs.
The value of frontloading logistics to give yourself time to focus on people and experiences. How important it is to be proactive and make things happen before you run out of time.
What I will miss about Singapore and my thoughts about being gifted the grace to rediscover the city I was born in.
Huge thank you to Alex Loh for being such a gracious host and all-around wonderful person!
