Enjoy Living Abroad: 3 Essential Tips for Expats
WANT TO FEEL AT HOME QUICKLY IN INDIA? HERE’S WHAT YOU CAN DO.
Living abroad can be challenging — especially at first. You probably won’t know many people when you arrive, which makes things even harder. Joining an expat community can make a huge difference.
Build a Strong Network
In the difficult moments of adjusting to life abroad, having a network of contacts is key. Becoming a member of a global expat community is the fastest way to find those essential contacts, so you don’t have to navigate everything alone. InterNations, the world’s largest expat community, makes it easy to connect with other people just like you. There are eight InterNations Communities throughout India.
Meet People That Share Your Interests
Making new connections online is important, but nothing can replace quality face-to-face interactions when you live in a new place. InterNations offers regular opportunities to meet people from all over the world who moved to India for different reasons, but who want to make new friends and have a memorable experience. In addition to large networking events in each community, InterNations also offers opportunities to interact and mingle in a smaller setting while pursuing a certain hobby. Some popular groups include the New Delhi Food Group, the Calcutta Explorer’s Group, or the Chennai Sports & Leisure Group.
Find & Exchange Information
Sometimes, what you really need is information. You might have questions like: What’s the best neighborhood to live in? Where can I find a doctor that speaks my language? Or what restaurants are great for families in my city? Access to InterNations’ lively and friendly forum can help you find whatever information you need.
