Travelling has never been something on my list. Even as kids, I would constantly say I loved it in my home country \u2018Nigeria\u2019 and wasn\u2019t going anywhere. I never knew God had other plans.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;\">I recalled making enquiries about Canada\u2019s Permanent Residency and how you had to take the IELTS as part of the requirement. All of a sudden, I was intrigued and tried it. I also made an effort to persuade my husband to do the same, but he shared my perspective and wasn&#8217;t thrilled about the prospect of living abroad. In any case, we both completed the IELTS and got started on the procedure, but we gave it up since we had a more important assignment that needed our full focus.<\/span><span style=\"-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;\">In 2021, we decided to relocate to the United Kingdom. At first, it was difficult because I was only starting to adjust to a new state and environment after resigning my 9 to 5 job, and now I had to relocate once more. I wasn&#8217;t sure what it would look like over there, so I was rather nervous. I am well aware that I will have to start afresh. I had no desire to. I&#8217;ve heard a lot of frightening tales about foreigners. Even the prospect of the weather there was the most frightening. In any case, we began the application process and were anticipating a response.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEhu2xWxUx43phoE-4pO-2cp5A86JrzWGpOvTsBMP2ZVJNu_56vmCd9777OnZPOHIjkrYWGxIwgdtLeZeNH9FPdZI3jHN5A7TjU2ZsaSx8uHUe0SVSa5jC4dH2C75yxc2zF4cqhxWUwtgVWZoH-Yeq7SYLDVrPtZlGBRjjWk8p_ktL6HxJudwg9WM0dNaDg\/s420\/IMG_4688.jpeg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"420\" data-original-width=\"360\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEhu2xWxUx43phoE-4pO-2cp5A86JrzWGpOvTsBMP2ZVJNu_56vmCd9777OnZPOHIjkrYWGxIwgdtLeZeNH9FPdZI3jHN5A7TjU2ZsaSx8uHUe0SVSa5jC4dH2C75yxc2zF4cqhxWUwtgVWZoH-Yeq7SYLDVrPtZlGBRjjWk8p_ktL6HxJudwg9WM0dNaDg\/s320\/IMG_4688.jpeg\" width=\"274\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>I recalled receiving an email alert stating that my passport was prepared for pickup when I woke up one morning. Since my outcome affects the rest of the family, I wasn&#8217;t entirely sure what it would be. I went immediately to the office after waking up, waited in queue and initially was unable to unlock my passport. After reading the pamphlet, I discovered that I had been granted a visa. I was overjoyed to hear that news. The kids were in the car with my spouse. Breaking the good news to him, I ran up to him.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;\">When we got home, I noticed that my husband had already started looking for a ticket for me to travel the following day. It hit me hard to realise that I would soon be travelling alone to the UK, which made me very unhappy. It was unbelievable to me that I would be leaving everyone and everything I had ever known and travelling so far from home. I was supposed to be studying for a master&#8217;s degree in the UK since September, but got a delayed decision outcome in October and needed to go as soon as I can to be able to do my registration and get settled quickly. I didn&#8217;t care about it at the moment. But was more concerned about being so distant from my family which made me very uneasy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>To be continued\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Lots of love,<\/p>\n<p>Linda.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0Hi Friends, This has been long overdue but I think I am in a good place to begin this series.
