In reply to Amber. Thanks for saying. It can be had moving abroad because things are different and you have to learn different ways of doing things. But we survive!

This is a great post about the first few things you need to do when you move abroad! I had a friend once say that you spend the first 6 months after moving trying to figure out where to buy things–it’s such a process. I appreciate your reminder that things may not go to plan–that’s definitely been my experience!

This is fantastic advice, especially researching and having some accommodation booked, at least you then have a little bit organised…

In reply to Alexandrea. I've moved abroad a number of times and so this post was written from first-hand experience. I'm glad you like my tips.

In reply to Hannah. Yes, moving abroad isn't always a bed of roses - it is best to be prepared.

Such a great article! I think loneliness and comfort of ones own setting definitely sets in at some point. I definitely plan to share when one of my family moves abroad.

This is a great guide. I have moved countries so many times, and my list looks a lot like this! Being prepared for things not going to plan is a really pertinent one – prepare for the worst / hope for the best!
