CULTURAL AWARENESS WHEN MOVING INTERNATIONALLY

Relocating to a different country can be like taking a jump into the unknown, therefore, preparing for the “culture shock” is important before the big move. Cultural differences normally include aspects such as language, politics, customs and religion. Getting to grips with the basics paves the way to a smooth and comfortable settling in process.

Being able to learn the essentials of the native language belonging to the country you are moving to allows for the ability to communicate and integrate with the locals, making it easier to build relationships in your new area. Researching forms of greetings, local cuisine, cultural attitudes and dress codes gives you the head start for a successful transition. It is also important to remember to be open minded to change and be patient in the transition process.
