1. expatriate, studying overseas, living overseas with their spouse or just holidaying?
I moved for many reasons.
1 I wanted to make hijrah.
2. I wanted to be around family(even if it is my husbands family.)
3. I was alone so much as my husband worked alot.
4. I wanted to learn Arabic.
5. I want to raise my kids in a Muslim country.
I could go on and on but those are the major reasons.
2. how long have you been away from your home country?
I have been here now for 6 months.
3. how often do you go back?
I may have to go back in March if hubby can't find work here. The enonomy is bad here. We me staying here and him going back to the US to work, but the seperation is to hard.
4. how do you cope with the loneliness if you are staying alone?
I live with my in laws and see the other family all the time. But being seperated from hubby is really hard. Sometimes I don't sleep at night. I just realy on Allah. Hubby is here now but soon has to return to the US. InshaAllah he can find work here and we can stay here together.

I am in Egypt now and inshaAllah I will be able to stay. What ever Allah wills. Please make dua for me and my family.

I am from US, living in Canada to be with my husband.
I go back to states every month, and to home state every 3 months to visit my kids and grandkids and parents.
I don't get too lonely, between my hubby, my pets and my puter.
And for those who think that the US and Canada are just alike, not true. Yes, lots of similarities, but there are also profound differences.
