From the Other Side, Hello: When Home Was Not Enough

By Wale Folarin PhD

At some point in our lives, we all wonder if there is a better place to be. The search for elsewhere is as old as humanity itself. Long before borders, passports, and visas, people moved in pursuit of safety, peace, dignity, and opportunity. Destinies are constantly in transit; some moving to fulfilment and others moving into obscurity.. What the internet age has done is simply to amplify it, placing distant lives and foreign lands constantly before our eyes. Yet, while some journeys end in fulfilment, others only end in disillusionment.

This book emerges from a 3-year research and digital tourism of nations across the globe. It includes news items, personal stories and lived experiences of immigrants and citizens of nations from different parts of the world. It looks beyond the glossy images and popular narratives to examine the realities of human societies, highlighting the good, the bad, and the awful raw edges of human experience in foreign lands. As you read through, you will likely question assumptions, and see "elsewhere" for what it truly is: a place of limitless opportunities and a territory where dreams could also turn to an endless nightmare.
