Download Google Maps and Maps.me for your destination city before flying. You may have limited data on arrival. Know how to get from the airport to your housing offline.
The first 3 months are the hardest. Research shows the "culture shock dip" hits between weeks 4-8. It passes. Connect with the IC360 community when it does.
Scan every document and upload to Google Drive or iCloud. Lost luggage happens. Having digital copies of your passport, visa and certificates has saved many expats.
Buy an eSIM from Airalo before your flight. Activate it the moment you land. You will immediately have data for maps, translation, and to notify family you arrived safely.
