The infographic below, How to Survive Your First Year Living Abroad, is an informative guide for anybody considering moving out of the U.S., or people who have previously made the move and are having a hard time gaining a firm grasp on their new territory.
The most encouraging counsel given in the infographic is to show restraint. Not many people residing abroad feel comfortable at home the day they arrive, or even within the first few months. Everyone adjusts differently: Some people flourish on the unfamiliar and the unpredictable, but most people excel when they have a sense of permanence and familiarity with their environmental elements. Getting those things naturally may takes time, so give yourself the time you need to feel at home.
