"I grew up in Brasília beautiful capital city, surrounded by love, unity, and the warmth of a close-knit family. I miss my family deeply but they always come to visit, like my sister next week. It's a wonderful place to live, safe and full of life."
For many expats like Ana Celina, the founder of London Soft Skills, missing family is a quiet thread that runs beneath the surface of daily life abroad. It's the unspoken cost of seeking opportunities and purpose in a new country: the birthdays celebrated over video calls, the long stretches between warm embraces, the ache of absence softened by memories and fleeting reunions.
And yet, this distance teaches resilience, gratitude, and the power of nurturing emotional closeness across continents. In Ana’s story, she reminds us that love doesn't lose strength with miles, it simply grows more intentional.
Her journey echoes the shared heart of millions who live between homes: holding on to where they come from while bravely building where they are.
