I’m curious how others are managing the challenges of working abroad as an OFW. Lately, I’ve been struggling with balancing long work hours, staying connected with my family back home, and finding time for personal wellbeing and growth. The differences in work culture and social interactions can make it tough to adjust, and sometimes the distance feels overwhelming.
How are you dealing with the pressures and isolation that come with being an OFW? Have you found any effective strategies or habits that help ease homesickness or maintain a healthy work-life balance? I’m interested in hearing your stories and practical advice—whether it’s about managing finances, setting up a support network among other Filipinos abroad, or even just little day-to-day routines that keep you grounded.
Your insights could really help those of us who sometimes feel lost between two worlds.
