If you’ve never moved across the pond, or much less traveled internationally, you’re opening yourself up to an entirely new world. Regardless of what country you’re relocating to, you’re going to encounter new people, cuisine, culture, and more! Before you jump at the chance to explore a new environment, adhere to a few tricks of the trade. Check out some international moving mistakes you should avoid:
Unfortunately, the majority of your time spent in your location isn’t going to involve daily naps on the beach or a day-long hike up the mountains. With the move comes all the other responsibilities along with it like paying bills, working, cleaning around the house, etc. Although your surroundings may look like it jumped off the picture of a postcard, you still have to adjust accordingly as a new part of your life begins.
First and foremost, familiarize yourself with the local and international laws within your area. Even when moving from state to state, laws change so, make sure you’re not starting on the wrong foot! If you’re staying for an extended period, look into the customs, taxes, health and education systems, and any public transportation.
If you’re moving to a country with a native language that is foreign to you, it might be a good idea to take a few lessons beforehand. The last thing you want is to show up in an unfamiliar country unable to communicate with anyone. Of course, you’re not expected to be knowledgeable with the entire dialect, but having an understanding of the basic greetings, necessities, and so on can make the transition much smoother.
