I am moving abroad this month, anyone here have experience with that?
Any advice? What are your experiences with moving abroad and starting over? I need advice with finding apartments to rent, I'll be moving to Argentina.
Don't stress.
Don't rush decisions.
Listen to the advice of your co-workers or the parents of your children in school/daycare.
Try to stay present in the actual moving experience. It's one of the things that really shows how cultures and their practices differ.
Have a blast getting to know a new culture and through that process learning a ton about your own culture and the things about it you take for granted or have accepted at face value because things just are that way.
This is pretty minor, and I’m not sure where you are moving from, but if the electrical outlets are a different type then buy some simple prong converters on amazon or ebay before you leave. They are really cheap for a 5 pack there, and most of your electronics can run on either 110 or 220. I got 5 before moving form US to EU and I wish I had gotten more.
I was always taught to take half the clothes you originally planned and twice the money
FYI, both of your links go to the Aeronaut 30.
