Nurse Judy revelas chasing the bag is wearing her thin and she’s thinking of returning to Africa

Nurse Judy has opened up about plans to temporarily relocate back to Africa, saying she is mentally and emotionally exhausted from living alone in the United States away from her family.

In a candid Instagram post, the influencer revealed that she intends to return home after completing her current work commitments in America.

‘I Am Tired of Being Alone’

Speaking honestly about life abroad, Nurse Judy admitted that loneliness has pushed her to rethink her priorities.

“I am tired of being alone… if I have had a bad day, I go home, and I am by myself. There is nobody there to make me feel better,” she shared.

Although she acknowledged that video calls help her stay connected with loved ones, she said virtual communication no longer fills the emotional gap.

“Yes, of course, there are video calls, but that’s not enough. I want to be cuddled after such a day.”

Her remarks reflect a struggle many migrants and diaspora workers experience while trying to balance career opportunities abroad with the emotional cost of being separated from family.

Considering a Return Home

According to Nurse Judy, she has seriously considered leaving her US job and returning to Tanzania to reunite with her husband and children.

She explained that her husband’s recent promotion has improved the family’s financial stability, making the move more realistic.

The influencer noted that their house is fully paid for, school fees are taken care of, and even her travel expenses are covered.

“I can just go home to Tanzania to my husband and be a stay-at-home mum, and he can take care of me,” she said.

However, she admitted that her decision to continue staying in America has largely been influenced by the desire to maintain financial independence.

“Huku America nangangana juu nataka independence… There is something about earning your own money as a woman.”

Plans for a Six-Month Stay

Nurse Judy revealed that she plans to complete her current contract before taking on another short-term private caregiving assignment scheduled for September.

After that, she hopes to travel back home and stay there for six months.

She also noted that her immigration status plays a role in her decisions, explaining that remaining outside the United States for long periods as a green card holder could affect her residency status.

“I have made up my mind… I am just tired mentally and emotionally being away from my family.”

Her comments have since sparked conversations online around work-life balance, family separation, and the emotional pressures many Africans face while building careers overseas.
