Is it normal to miss home on vacation?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes, it’s normal to miss home while you’re on vacation, even if you’re having a good time. Familiar routines, people, and comforts can be hard to leave behind.

Absolutely. Being somewhere new can make you miss the familiar stuff—your own bed, your usual routine, pets, or the people you left at home. You can be excited about the trip and homesick at the same time; those feelings don’t cancel each other out.

Lots of people feel this way, especially on longer trips or when they’re tired or out of their comfort zone. A call home or a small familiar routine can help, and you don’t have to force yourself to enjoy every single minute.
