Going Back Home After 4 Years In UK Migrant Life, Reverse Culture Shock & Expectations

A lot of migrants don’t talk about how nervous they get when thinking about going back home. In this video, I share my honest journey as I prepare to return to Zimbabwe after living in the UK for 4 years. I talk about the excitement, the anxiety, the reverse culture shock, and the high expectations from family, friends, and society. This trip isn’t about showing off it’s about connection, growth, and celebrating the small wins. I share how I’m setting boundaries, managing expectations, and preparing emotionally and financially for this journey.
