Settling Into a Cross Country Move

Have you just moved across the country? How are you settling in? Sure, you’ve got the right home insurance, you’ve paid the housing association fee, and you’ve unpacked everything in the right place – but something is still missing, isn’t it? Something doesn’t feel right, and you feel a bit homesick, and you’re not sure what to do in your new place. Don’t worry, this is normal. A cross country move is a big deal, and it’s going to take time to get used to. But, if you think you’re really struggling, we’ve got a little bit of advice for you below.

Explore Your New Area as Much as Possible

You need to know what your new home is like, and what’s around you. That means you need to start exploring! You need to spend some time on the roads, getting to know the layout, and ensuring all the right amenities are nearby, so you feel a lot less lost and a lot less like a fish out of water. Get in your car and go! 

 

Adapt to the Climate

The climate where you’re living now might be very different to the climate you lived in before. After all, every country out there has differing temperatures depending on how North or South you go, and that might mean you’re now a lot colder or a lot warmer on a daily basis. 

 

Of course, we tend to think of hotter climates as being warm weather luxury living, but if you’re not used to the heat, it can be horrible! If you’ve got an AC in your new house, make sure it’s on at a constant temperature, to help you acclimate quicker, and be sure to invest in a new, seasonal wardrobe. 

 

If you’re moving somewhere colder, try to get outside a bit more, to get used to the cold, as well as keep your body temperature up by staying active. Indeed, being out and about more can help with the next point too… 

 

Make Some New Friends

You might be away from all of your family, you might be away from your dearest friends, and you’re in an entirely new place that you don’t know at all. It’s no wonder you’re struggling to settle in! It’s a lonely situation to be in, but it doesn’t have to be for long. 

 

Because what you need to do now is try and make some local friends. And to do that, you’re going to need to get out and about and join some local clubs, a local church, or hang out in some local hot spots, and try to spark up some conversations. You could also use friendship apps to help connect you with people in or near the area, if you’re someone who struggles to just start something face to face. 

 

A cross country move is a hard thing to adjust to. Make sure you keep ideas like those above in mind, to help you to settle in faster and find a home.
