When you study abroad and have the time of your life, it can easily feel like you’ve just experienced the climax of your life. When you return to your home country, you are very likely to suffer from reverse culture shock.
    The trick to keeping study abroad experiences relevant even after your return is to not try to copy them. Instead, [16] try and embrace your home culture once more by reminding yourself of all the amazing things you missed while abroad.
    Once you’ve re-established yourself in your home culture, reach back to connect with your abroad culture. Find an authentically Italian, German, or Japanese restaurant that serves the kind of food you were used to eating. Take people with you, show them how to use chopsticks, and explain the healing power of the fish on their plate. [17] As they become more familiar with your daily experiences abroad, it’ll become easier for them to reconnect with the new you.
    Naturally, dinner at a Chinese restaurant with family in Oklahoma won’t be the same as with your friends abroad. For those friends you wish you could’ve taken home with you, don’t forget using email, letters, Skype, or calls to stay in touch. With the world getting smaller every day, you may find yourself in the same country, state, or city sooner than you think.
    Once family and friends start to get a better idea of where your affection for the foreign culture came from, it’s time to find others with similar experiences to yours. The best place to start is the study abroad office at your school, which can easily put you in contact with other students who have just returned from abroad. Even with countries as different as Kenya and China, it’s often quite surprising how similar those experiences can be. [18] Exchanging stories over lunch can be more therapeutic than doing the same with a clueless roommate.
    [19] Other people who you will suddenly have a much closer connection to are international students from your study abroad country. Chatting with them and showing them around is not only a great way of keeping your foreign language skills sharp, but also a nice way of returning the hospitality you received abroad.
    There is no doubt that people who come back from study abroad are returning with new perspectives, new ideas, and all the right potential for innovation. Don’t underestimate the change you can be. Find the right people and start out locally. Most importantly, regardless of what you end up doing, don’t leave your exploratory enthusiasm abroad.
