Being away from your family is one of the toughest things that you can experience especially if you are close to them. It can be hard and the most challenging part of it is going through a period of homesickness. But this should get easier if you keep in touch with your loved ones. After all, they would also be delighted to hear from you just as much as you wanted to know what's currently happening with them. Here are some ways in which you can do just that: 1. Invest on phone cards - It may be expensive to talk to your family and relatives abroad when you go on a direct line so it would be best to invest on good phone cards. This way, you can budget your savings accordingly and also how long you can actually talk to your relatives when you have the time. 2. Get an internet connection - The internet is the fastest and perhaps most affordable way of keeping connected with your family. There's always the good old email and chat to talk to them or you can now make use of video chat so you can at least see each other as you talk. You can also take advantage of the VOIP privileges that you can use without any charge at all. This way you can easily call up your loved ones without having to think about how much it will cost you. 3. Be active on social networking sites - These days, there are lots of social networking sites that you can sign up for and you can do that for free. You can tell your family to sign up for it as well so you can view each other's profiles and get updated with what's happening in your own lives while you're away from each other. Some social networking sites also offer you the ability to chat with your friends when they are online and they also have their photo album applications ready for uploading the most recent images that you want to share with your network. 4. Send cards - It's not necessary that there should be an occasion for sending out cards. You can do this just because you miss your family or you want to share something special to them. There are lots of affordable cards that you can purchase online and some of them even come in digital form so you can easily send them off as an eCard. 5. Send gifts - Let your family know that you still remember them especially during their special days by giving them gifts. Take advantage of online shopping and make gift-giving abroad a worry-free activity for you to do. Most online shops will also offer you discounts when you buy in bulk. These days, it is easier to let your family know that you still haven't forgotten them regardless where they may be. All you have to do is find the best way to do that, something that will be convenient for you yet would still let your family know how much you long to see them again.
