Beginner

• Get your passport! You cannot travel out of your country without one.


• Research which country you want to go to.


• Research the opportunities in the country you want to go to. Will you work? 


• Research the cost of living. How much will you need to survive every month? How much will the rent and groceries cost?

Intermediate

• Create a monthly budget so you know how much you will need to survive.


• Start packing or getting rid of things. You don't need to take a lot with you. You can buy things in your new country.


• Unlock your phone. It's often cheaper to buy a sim card in your new country than to use a roaming plan and many carriers lock their phones to their networks.


• Find a place to rent. Research the area. Make sure you have direct access to grocery stores, restaurants, and public transportation.

Advanced

• Get a sim card. You'll need this to call people and get directions.


• Network with others. They will give you useful advice so you don't make the same mistakes that they did.
