Moving abroad

Blog 15 by Shahar

Hey everyone!

Today I would like to talk about moving to a new country. 🙂

First thing you have to do before moving to a new country is doing your homework and researching as much as possible. You can research online or even talk with people who have been there. It is important to find out at least the first few things you have to do and the places you need to know upon arrival.

If you are here for a longer period of time, then I can recommend signing up for a local language class. If you already speak the language, try joining a community club – it will be an opportunity to make new friends. These classes are full with people who are probably looking for friends and are also new in the city. It’s also super helpful to have a local phone number.

I can recommend going for a walk around your neighborhood and finding out where the restaurants and the local bars around your area are. Furthermore, it is important to figure out where the locals buy their groceries in order to save some money.

The first few months in any new place are going to be stressful. Even when it’s hard, try to remember that you are experiencing something wonderful and unique – so, don’t forget about it and try to enjoy it as much as possible.

In the next post I will share with you how my last lesson was!

Cheers
