Tips to help you settle in a new country



- Walk around your neighborhood.

- Find your favorite spot: a café to write a journal, a terrace to look at your new city’s life.

- Sign up for volunteering: there is no better way to integrate to your new city than helping and meeting locals.

- Try to have a relocation agent or a local help you with housing, it will save you headaches.

- Attend networking events: meet new people. Identify local groups that represent your individual interests or affiliations

- Find a place to do your favorite sport.

- Practice the language at every opportunity you have.

- Take a class on something you like.

- Read blogs from people that have already walked through the path of starting from zero in a new country or city.

- Be patient and open about the cultural differences.

- Be curious. Make a list of the places you would like to discover and visit and put a date on it, time flies and next thing you know, you might be already heading off to a new place.

- Be humble, there are many things you can learn. If you are an executive, listen, learn and be part of the local team, instead of the "outsider" that arrived to command.

- Set realistic expectations about what will be available in your new city and be open to trying new things.
