Below you will find some advice from us, to help you a bit with your next step 🙂
1. Expect to be challenged
Let’s face it. Moving and settling in a new country can be challenging. You should be prepared to dare your adaptability and calmness, and even test yourself emotionally. Stepping out of your comfort zone can be like that, but always think of the things that you are gaining from this experience!
2. Research your relocation destination thoroughly
Getting informed about the cultural differences and the functions of the country you are relocating to, can make your transitioning days much easier. Learning about the weather, the different areas in the city and which are the busiest ones, the transportation services and also the unspoken rules of the city, could help you blend in. If you know anyone from the place you intend to relocate to, ask them about their country. They can give you some advice on how to make the move. Do not hesitate to ask your future co-workers once you have accepted a job. Facebook groups, Reddit, or forums related to your potential new home city can also be a useful resource.
