When I arrived I missed many things from my land such as the food, the smells, the language and the way of talking to each other. Fortunately, I found an association of people from my country and I became a member. I made new friends there but always having in mind that not all the relationships were useful and safe. We tried to meet regularly to talk and to eat together, which was a very good way to be connected with my origins.
Try to be open to learning new things and new life experiences while at the same time get in touch with members of your community settled in the host country as a way to be connected with your origins.
