I was born and raised in Poland and never intended to leave my home country. I went to England for a "little holiday" over 7 years ago and, well, I'm still here.

I met my now-fiance during my holidays, fell madly in love and I've never come back to Poland. I finished my final year of university here in England, climbed up the ladder, got a really good job, bought a house and, well... I still miss home. A lot. And before someone says (again) that I have the wrong mindset and should call England my home now - well, no, because I love the country I'm from and it will always be my home. Maybe my home is simply both here and there.

So, there's good days and there's bad days. If it wasn't for my fiance, I'd certainly move back - not because England is an awful country but simply because it isn't MY country. However, when I go to Poland I also feel a bit out of place, after all I've spent all of my 'proper' adulthood in the UK. It's an odd situation but to be honest, if I had my family here, I'd not feel homesick because what I miss the most is people that are close to me.
