Ever felt the pull of the world that lies beyond your doorstep? 

In this episode of Nomadic Diaries, the Re-Entry Series host Doreen Cumberford reads the heartwarming and insightful story of Deirdre K. Razzaque, exploring her journey of identity and belonging after living abroad. 

Through her experiences in diverse cultures, from Costa Rica to Vermont, Deirdre shares the continuous and often challenging process of finding home within oneself. 

Arriving Well is a compilation of five raw, compelling, autobiographical stories about re-entry. Each of the authors experienced the roller-coaster ride of re-entry to their home country in totally different and yet totally valid ways after a differing number of years abroad.
 
Listen in and learn how to embrace the complexities of re-entry and transform them into meaningful connections and growth opportunities in your own life.

Here at Nomadic Diaries we love to interview expat and cross-cultural authors and experts who share the attitudes and strategies that help us create a more inspired and fulfilling repatriation!
