everything. How to live the way you do now but in a different country. How to access equivalent services. Where to find things. Who to ask. Visas, understanding and contacting work opportunities, selection and understanding of where to live, making contact with expats living in those places, understanding rules and regulations and being pointed to how to access official sources of info how to get access to tax, health.What was the website useful for?
We were greeted in our first week by people I met online there. Shown around, told how things work, introduced to our first new friends etc etc etc
In short, have a question ask it there and get some answers. Feel immensely less isolated and alone. People that have been there and done that. Don’t underestimate how different the culture can be just because it is western and English speaking
I loved the experience and would have found a way without the website but boy did it make it smoother.
