Moving Abroad? Avoid These 10 Mistakes
Moving Abroad? Avoid These 10 Mistakes
“When you’re moving abroad, this is your chance to go where you really want to go, to see a place you’ve always wanted to see, to live in a culture that you’ve always been curious about experiencing. So if you want to go move to Timbuktu and no one can understand why, then who cares? Go anyway!”
You wouldn’t be to blame if you didn’t know everything there is to know about moving to another country. (After all, this isn’t a topic that’s taught in school.)
Moving abroad is a complex logistical feat, but here are some common mistakes to avoid.
