This narrative study aims to explore the feelings of two Indonesian students studying in Saudi Arabia and the Netherlands in relation to their learning experience during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data were garnered from semi-structured interviews and were analyzed with Martin and White�s language appraisal (2005) theory as well as Bourdieu�s cultural capital and Giddens� structuration theories. Findings showed that the participants experienced dissatisfaction and insecurity during the learning process. However, they demonstrated adaptability and coping strategies manifested through making peace with themselves. © 2021 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
