People move from one place to another due to many different reasons. It can happen because of a new job offer, marriage, sentimental, or it can be because you decided to study abroad. No matter if it is a local or long-distance move, adapting to the new place demands: time, energy and actions to take.
We know how our customers feel about moving, changing places can be very stressful to many. Besides all the emotions triggered thinking about the moving day, there is always an expectation and questions about the new and the upcoming day. Here are some recommendations we suggest you do, once you move to the new place:
Let your contacts know you moved to a new place:
Announcing and letting your friends know you are moving somewhere else, increases the chances of someone to give you a new contact or referral already living in your new destination. It becomes easier if your friend contacts their friend to refer you and let the person know you will be moving to the same area.
If you are moving by yourself, arriving at an Airbnb can be very helpful. The person who owns Airbnb can provide you with useful information about the city.
Make a list of your hobbies and do a little search of places where you can practice them. For example, if you love Yoga, google the different studios close to your new location. Action and practicing a sport always helps you create healthy emotions.
Nowadays, with the internet and social media, it is easy to find groups of people with different interests and things in common. For example: finding a group of people coming from the same city, nationality, finding people with hobbies, or interests in common.
Also, if you practice a religion, for instance, find your church in your neighborhood, it can be opening the doors to a new community. Let them know you are new in the area and learn about their different activities they do within the community.
If you have extra free time think about volunteering. Volunteering is positive in many ways: helping others in need, and it is heart fulfilling. It also, helps you connect with the community, you may feel like you belong to something new.
Keeping your mind busy with things you like, eases the process of adapting, helps you miss less of what you were used to, and leads you to new opportunities. It is very important to maintain a positive attitude and develop a sense of openness to new things.
