Anyone who has ever asked me if I get homesick while living the expat life has always been given the same answer: Only at Christmas. Having grown up with big family Christmases, suddenly finding myself alone and thousands of miles from my homeland hits me hard.

I also needed to use up the last of my annual leave allotment for the year, so I booked a holiday in Vietnam.
