1. Before you get to your new country, join an expat organization like InterNations in the city you will be locating. These people with understand your trials and tribulations and will help you navigate. Most major cities have them. 2. To get settled in with the basics like hiring help, utilities, where to buy things, or ways of not getting ripped off, ask your local (not an expat) for advice. 3. Beware of the 3 Cs. What are your behaviors towards your host country. Are you condoning, complaining, or conforming? If you are condoning then you believe your way is better. If you are complaining then it will keep you from connecting with the locals. 3. If you are conforming then you are more likely to go with the flow. It is okay to be in one of the Cs at one time like you might behave like the locals but respect the local values towards issues like women's equality. 4. Throw away your concept of fairness. Many countries have different pricing/salaries for locals and expats.
Hello, I'm from Prague and I left to UK for studies. I was dealing with massive culture shock almost for my whole first year. Now it's getting better and after two years I feel actually more settled.The tips which you wrote are brilliant and I can confirm that they do work! I would just add regular exercises(yoga, jogging,gym), which helps stretch mind in the good way. Take care and thank you for your video!:)
This a really helpful video, I moved to the USA from India in 2016 and now trying to settle here, was just diagnosed with a medical condition and trying every day to keep myself calm and take one day at a time. This is really gonna help me out. People like you inspire me to tell my story to the world and I feel good about it :)
Thank you Paul for these great tips! I am traveling to Australia very soon. I have all my documents ready, flight tickets, place to stay and savings... but I'm concerned about the job tip, because I need to find one soon. Basically everyone I know who went there had to apply for jobs outside of their professional areas, that's a thing I'm not quite prepared for! I've been applying for IT jobs for some time now (which is my area) but it feels like I'm sending my CVs into a pitch black hole... So, any advice from your perspective and experience is more than welcome. I believe my biggest fear is to see myself suffering and struggling to get a job.
From what I know, Australia is very tough :/ I think what you've heard is right - that you have to do 6 months work in a job outside your professional area before you will be considered for a role more suited to your skills. My advice would be do as much homework and research as you can to make sure it is the right step for you. Good luck :)
For anyone watching (especially americans) going to Russia, DO NO SMILE ONE THE STREETS (unless with friends). Russians will find you weird and think you’re wrong in the head. A straightface at most positive is the typical face on the metro, trams, etc
There's something about this in one of the English Textbooks I have used for teaching highlighting and explaining cultural differences between Russia and the UK.
It has been 2 months I've moved to Calcutta from Bangladesh for 2 years. Even though our language is same, I can't adjust here. I don't like the locality and people here. I feel so suffocated here. I have come here to study with gov. Scholarship but already feeling like going back home. How can I stable my mind? Some advice plz..
Hi I'm from Calcutta. Can u tell me what problems you're facing? Because I don't think people in Calcutta can be rude but am not gonna judge you. You can tell me.
Hey Aaron, thanks for stopping by. I teach English and record voiceovers. Are you thinking of relocating? To Prague? Any other questions I can help you with? Paul
Paul Colto oh man, good to know. I've been watching your videos, precious tips btw! I'm planning to go next year and I've started to get some information with visa agencies and even with universities. Freelancer visa looked go to me, do you know more about that? Also, could you share some information about employment for foreigners? Cheers mate

I think I'm at about pre-intermediate level. I had some free group lessons provided by a language school for the first year or two that I was here and then my own private teacher for one year. I've been a bit lazy for the last 18 months but I think when you live in a country you're always learning and practising because you see and hear it every day. I think my biggest strength is vocabulary but the grammar is so difficult!
Paul Colto just don’t overthink it! My biggest problem five years ago was the case system because it was my first slavic language but once i saw the patterns were there (because i started to believe there were none) then it got easier. Czech isn’t difficult because of the word order essentially not being important, its FUN because of that :D just give it even more time and I’m sure it’ll all come together if you stay there
Sup, i moved from Lithuania to Spain, its been 2 years ,and I still have no friends, dont know the language and wanna go back,but i cant, I really are thinking about suicide
