Why should you try to introduce your friends to new cultures at home for dealing with reverse cultural shock?
Answer:
Many travelers can get depressed after returning home from around the world travels, finding life at home less than stimulating.
Back home, boredom can happen pretty fast if you do not keep yourself busy. On the road you move around everyday but there is a certain staticness that comes with being back home. Even if you keep yourself busy, returning home can be a little underwhelming sometimes.
It is easy to start complaining to friends and family about how boring home is but they may feel as if you are calling them boring as well. And your cultural adventures do not have to end as soon as the plane touches down on the tarmac. Seek out restaurants, events, museums and other activities in your area that can make you feel as if you are still abroad. And better yet, invite some of your friends or family along so they can get a taste of what you experienced.
