Debunking Common Misconceptions About Moving Abroad

The idea of packing up your things and moving to the other side of the world is an exciting but nerve-wracking prospect.

 

There are lots of myths and misconceptions surrounding this, which often end up putting people off from taking the plunge and potentially enjoying a more enriching, fulfilling life. Don’t let these common misconceptions put you off from doing something you have always dreamed of. Here are the most common misconceptions about moving abroad:

 

You have to be rich to live abroad

If you are worried about how you will financially afford to live aboard, you can mark this misconception off of your checklist. You don’t have to be rich to live abroad or have massive savings. Or a big job.

 

In reality, you don’t have to have much money at all to make your move to an international life. The most important thing you can do is to give yourself enough time to save for your big move.

 

You need to be able to speak the local language in order to enjoy living there

This is perhaps one of the most common misconceptions people have when they think about living and working abroad. People assume that they will be the only English speaking person in a sea full of eloquent native speakers, however, this is often quite the opposite. Depending on where you go, you will often be able to find people and companies that speak the same language as you.

 

If you plan to live abroad for an extended period of time, you will most likely begin to pick up some of the native language, or at least enough to understand the basics.

 

You are escaping “real life”

Some people feel that travelling or moving abroad is escaping your responsibilities and “running away” from reality. This is simply not true.

 

Moving abroad requires a great deal of ambition and drive to further your life and career. It is about experiencing more of the world. What you’re doing is actually what most people dream of but never take the initiative to actually do, probably because of all these myths!

 

You will never find accommodation abroad

People say that finding accommodation abroad is impossible, which it is not.

 

While finding somewhere can be difficult or time-consuming (just like if you were looking to move abroad), it is certainly not impossible. The important thing to do is to start looking as early as you can. Try asking on social media to build connections with people who might know of somewhere you can live.

 

You should also check out all of the local housing websites and keep an eye out for new listings.
