<div>Have you ever visited a place, and fallen so in love that you think to yourself "I never ever want to leave this place"? 
 
What is it like to drop your life in your home country, and move to a place because it just feels right?  
 
We’re chatting with Erin's BFF, Philip Mak, who left everything behind in Canada to work in luxury fashion in London, England. We discuss what happened, his experience with culture shock, what it means to romanticize a place, and homesickness.
