Your adjustment to your move does not stop once you return your moving truck<\/a>. \u00a0It is just the beginning! \u00a0Making the choice to move to a new city on your own can be a fun, adventurous, refreshing, but also scary. \u00a0Meeting new friends and finding a place in the community can make the difference between enjoying and staying in your new city or moving back to where you are familiar. \u00a0Below are some ways to get involved and enrich your experience.<\/p>\n

Get in Touch<\/h3>\n

Reach out to anyone you may know in the city you are moving\u00a0before you move and ask to meet for lunch shortly after you arrive. Social media is a great tool to do this- you just do a general post just asking friends, or friends or friends, to share tips with you about your new city. Take the time to pick these folk’s brains to learn as much as you can; you may even make a new friend or two before you arrive!<\/p>\n

Look Around<\/h3>\n

Don’t curl up with a great book or watch 4 seasons of Gilmore Girls on Netflix.\u00a0Use sites like Google Maps<\/a>, Yelp<\/a> and Citysearch<\/a> to find out what is near your office or home.\u00a0“Shop around” to find your new community favorite coffee shop, gym, restaurant and dry cleaners.<\/p>\n
