@Trina I really like this line, “the hard part isn't necessarily moving your possessions…it's the emotional part.” That is dead on. Even if the physical labor of moving is challenging, the emotional part hits you deeper and can affect you in a positive or negative way. Thanks for sharing

Great advice Grace! I've moved across the country several times since college, and I found the hard part isn't necessarily moving your possessions…it's the emotional part. It's quite difficult to meet new people and get involved in new places, and your tips are really helpful.

@noorasagarwala What great additional tips. I forgot to mention mail forwarding and it's also nice to set up a P.O. Box if you're not sure where you may be living or if it's temporary. The theater ushering position is great to support the arts and see those shows. Thanks so much for sharing

It's also really useful to set up temporary mail forwarding with the post office. There's a small fee, but at least you won't miss anything important in the post (and you'll know which organizations to contact to notify of your change of address).

In terms of getting to know your city, most theatres have volunteer ushering positions which will give you a chance to support the arts, meet fellow culture-lovers, and see shows for free!

@Stuart Thanks! Ladies Who Launch is a great organization (it's national). Yes, it's filled with ladies (only) but we host a lot of speakers, events, etc. which is open to any gender
