Homesick with no way of travelling for the next few years.
Hello, I wasn't exactly sure where to post this but I'm guessing I may find some suggestions here.
I am originally from Russia but I have lived in the US for most of my life (currently 20 years old). I am completely fluent in Russian and have travelled back almost every summer because my whole family lives there (except for my parents of course.) I am from Moscow, which is a huge city with lots of things to do. The public transportation is awesome and there's always something going on. I live in a relatively small city in the US and I have two more years of college to go. I am majoring in geography/pre-pa.
I am feeling really homesick for Moscow right now. A certain smell or a song often triggers this feeling and it sucks. College is expensive and I won't have the time or money to travel anywhere for at least the next two years. I dream of being able to see other ways of life and explore new cities and cultures.
My plan was to complete my masters and become a physician assistant in the US and make bank and travel as much as possible. I feel like I don't want to spend the rest of my life living in America. I am very comfortable here and everyone is so nice, but it's so far away from everyhthing that I identify with. I live in Texas, so to get to Europe or Russia, it's a very expensive 12-14 hour flight.
I'm discouraged in everything right now because I really want to travel and see the world, but in order to do that, I'm going to have to spend a lot of time working to pay off my loans and pay for a place to live even though I don't want to live there. Moving to Europe is really hard and if it did happen, I would probably be working at a low paying job somewhere. I understand that it's impossible to plan the future and we don't know what will happen a couple years down the line, but I feel trapped with no way out. Have any of you felt the same way and how did you find motivation to move on and work towards the ability to do the things you enjoy?
