Fitting in the new city

It’s hard to remake your life in a new place, so here are some tips to help you:

Before moving permanently, research information about your new home. You may find that you are going to live near a park or a mall with a variety of services, for example.

It is important that you know the location of your new home and which are the easiest access routes to get there, which will also help to define the type of transport you will use. Having this information in hand will help you and your family feel safer before moving.

It is essential that you have a projection of the costs of your move in order to avoid surprises. Your salary or allowance must be adequate to cover basic expenses, such as rent, electricity, water, food, transport and internet, as well as unplanned costs with books, lectures, etc.

Establish a routine… One of the best parts of getting to know a city is the simple things: where to find a good lunch, which supermarket has the best deals, or which place offers the most entertainment to spend a Sunday afternoon. There is a new culture, customs and traditions to be explored.

Start new hobbies and participate in cultural events. Look for hobbies that you can adopt, according to the possibilities offered by your new address. For example, if your new neighborhood often organizes outdoor exercise classes on Saturday mornings, why not give it a try? It’s also the chance to meet the people who live close to you
