5 Moving MISTAKES to AVOID (TIPS for Moving to a New City ALONE)

Описание: When I was 20 years old, I moved to a new city all by myself. I really wanted a shot at a new life and the opportunity finally came up. This is something that I have personally done and I want to share some pointers to make your move easier and some mistakes to avoid along the way.

So if you want to know how to move to move away on your own, Here Are My Tips:

1. Prepare in advance a game plan, saving money, what you will do when you first get there, plan your route and how you will actually get there and what you will take with you

2. Make the move and get yourself setup. Try to bring a friend for emotional support and to not be completely alone from the very beginning.

3. Need to get a job and income as quickly as possible

4. Need a place to live, preferably as close to your work as possible, if you don't know where you will be working this is a tough one. Might want to stay in hotel or airbnb at first

5. Coping - Missing home and family can be tough, need to stay busy, but should be anyhow looking for work and actually working will keep you busy. I worked a lot, I went to the gym a lot and the beach and I also met my future girlfriend and we became best friends instantly

6. Need to make new friends and feel a sense of belonging in the new place asap

7. Try it out for at least 6 months, don't give up too soon

Mistakes to Avoid. I made all of these mistakes below, so try to learn from mine and you will have a smoother transition than I did.

1. If you are moving from the sticks to a big city, make sure you are not moving with a stick shift car….

2. Having too great of expectations. I had dreams of modeling and getting paid a lot of money to do it, an eventually traveling and seeing the world like that, but none of that actually happened.

3. Not having enough money, this one is hard because its tough to know exactly how much money you will need but the more you have the better.

4. Renting a place that is too expensive

5. Not researching the culture ahead of time. When i moved here, I had no idea I would be in the minority of the population and that most people here actually speak Spanish
