What comes home with us?

An exchange year has a beginning and an end on a calendar. The questions it introduces can last much longer.

This note will document Aswin's AFS exchange year in India in 2024–2025. It is a place for stories about home, unfamiliar routines, and the people who made a new place feel familiar.

A few starting points

  • What felt unfamiliar at first?
  • Which everyday moments deserve to be remembered?
  • How did the meaning of home change?
