Moving abroad is a decision that looks straightforward from the outside — pack, go, live somewhere new — and is actually a complete dismantling and rebuilding of daily life from scratch. The phone plan. The bank account. The grocery store where nothing is where they expect it. The language or the accent or the bureaucracy or some combination of all three. They made this choice, and they are committed to it, and there are moments when it is exactly as exciting as they hoped and moments when they would give quite a lot to eat something familiar in a place they recognize. The homesickness is real even when they don't want to admit it, and the wonder is also real, and both things are happening at the same time which is the specific texture of being new somewhere far away. The gift for them is something that connects them to home, or helps them navigate the new place, or simply acknowledges that what they're doing is genuinely hard and also genuinely great.
