Home is indeed where the heart is, but sometimes the pursuit of a “better life” requires you to be away from the place you’re most fond of and the people you love the most. It’s a hefty price to pay and it’s always heartbreaking, but that’s just life you tell yourself, and you pay it and move on.

Thankfully, where there’s a will, there’s a way, and you can take comfort in knowing that you live in a day and age where home is never too far away. All it takes is a trip to the airport, a nap or two on the airplane, and before you know it, it’s home sweet home and a chance to experience these 5 things that make family reunions absolutely the best…

#1 The freedom to be yourself

One of the best things of being home surrounded by family is there’s no need to be anyone other than yourself. There are no appearances to keep up and no forced conversations to be had. No matter who you are at home, you know there’s nothing but love and acceptance from the ones you love.

 #2 Mum’s cooking!

There are really good restaurants serving really good food here in Malaysia, but even the best places cannot come close to the made-with-love dishes that mum makes. Plus, it’s just really nice and comforting to be eating at home for once.

#3 The conversations with everyone

Like we said, there are no forced conversations with family. So, maybe you’ll have many stories to tell, or maybe you’ll end up just staring at each other in silence, whichever way the conversation goes, you know you’ll still have a good time catching up and being in the presence of each other.

#4 Being cared for

Is there anything better than being cared for? Yea, we didn’t think so. It doesn’t even have to be any grand acts of service. Simple things like having someone check up on how you are doing or bringing you biscuits for tea time speaks to the love you’ll no doubt receive during family reunions.

#5 Forget about life’s struggles 

Let’s face it. While living away from home does give you a great sense of accomplishment, it can get very lonely at times. So, with Kaamatan just around the corner, now is the perfect time to make your way home to just relax, catch up, and just leave all of life’s problems behind for a little while.

And like we said earlier, a quick flight is all it takes. So, pack your bags, it’s time to head home with AirAsia, the airline that harvests a generation of champions! Book your flights now at www.airasia.com.
