In This Section
Living abroad is a life changing experience, meeting new people and making new friends, adjusting to a new culture and maybe learning a new language.
Planning is essential if you are thinking of moving abroad as there are important things to sort out like employment, somewhere to live, setting up a bank account and you might need permits and visas to live and work in a different country.
You should do as much research as possible on the country you will be living in. Find out about local laws and regulations, local customs and cultural differences.
This section will go through the many things to consider before you go to live abroad such as money, how to stay in touch with your family and friends you leave behind, how to stay safe and how to find accommodation.
