When you decide to go abroad it does not matter if you have already been offered a job or you just first want to move and then look for the job in that country. In any case you have to make sure you know everything about your host country and you will find no surprise once you are there in your living abroad experience.

This is very important as such a decision about moving abroad will seal your destiny for some time; as such a decision cannot be easily reversed. You cannot just get on a return flight after a couple of days if you realize you are not happy with the new environment.

When you think about moving to a new country, you will have to understand that you will face a new environment generally. This will involve a series of factors, such as language, culture, weather conditions, price index, criminality, poverty, infrastructure and so. These might have a significant change in your life: imagine that it might rain almost everyday in your new country, or that the sunny hours are limited to only 4-5 hours a day, or that infrastructures are substantially limited comparing to your old country or that grocery shops are not that often and you make long distances to get your supermarket shopping done. You have to be sure that you are aware of the differences between your old country and your new country.
