Migration moves individuals in “alternative” ways. In the text, this notion is considered in two different perspectives. The first one is within the context of years-long process of movements between countries and homes, in different directions, for different periods of time, and under different circumstances. The second one refers to the change of this more or less dynamic way of transnational life of the Bulgarian – Syrian families during the last decade, which deprives them from the possibility of immediate contact with the loved-once “there”. As a result of the conflict in Syria, the life trajectories of the interlocutors underwent a peculiar transformation in order to find, establish and maintain ways of communication across distance.
