Top 5 Tips Before You Move Abroad
What do you need to do before you move abroad? I've been receiving more messages recently from people who are thinking about moving abroad and I wanted to respond to an Instagram message I received asking about the top 5 things to do before you move to Italy. Because many of the tips I would share would be the same as I would give to anyone wanting to move to another country and live abroad... I also mixed in some stories that I've never shared before in an expat podcast episode of Not Your Average Globetrotter. When planning to move abroad there's a lot that unfortunately gets overlooked and while some of these tips may seem elementary, they can be a make all the difference when preparing to move abroad, move to Italy, move to Portugal or a move to anywhere in the world. Is it hard to move to another country? In fact, it can be, but by taking care of the basics before arriving and building a foundation can help your transition into expat life and living abroad go much more smoothly. Am I saying that I did everything on this list or had things perfectly ready for myself before coming to live in Italy? No, what I'm saying is that in an ideal situation, these all would be worth taking care of ahead of time and make this so much easier in the long run.
