TRAVEL IS FATAL TO PREJUDICE, BIGOTRY,
AND NARROW-MINDEDNESS.
Mark Twain
Should You stay or should You move?
Moving to a new country is a life changing decision. The better one is prepared, the more effective the transition will be. Start considering the following points:
Career and Motivation
What motivates you to move abroad? Will it help your career progression? What is included in your relocation package? How are your career perspectives upon your return back home?
Personal life
Issues to consider are general health questions (do you have allergies, a chronical disease?), Do you have parents or other dependents left behind? Could you spouse/ partner work abroad? Are ther good schools for your children?
Cross-Cultural Competencies
Are you open to other cultures? Flexible and tolerant? Resilient?
The Country
Cost of living and quality of living, climate, healthcare system, education system, pollution and hygiene factors people speak English, is there a large expat community, is the local population open to foreigners? What about the local cuisine?
