In this episode of Slow Portuguese with Maria, I talk about the emotional challenges of being far from my family in Portugal. I share how I stay connected through technology and how affordable Ryanair flights make visiting home easier. I also discuss the feelings of homesickness, guilt, and how I try to balance the physical distance with emotional closeness. If you're far from your family, I hope this episode brings you some comfort and useful tips.
