Changes in landscape and culture

Not only can local cultures and customs vary hugely across the continents, laws can also be very different from country to country, so if you are considering a big move then make sure you do your research.

Specifically, when preparing for a country relocation don’t forget to plan for insurance. Health insurance should be a top priority, wherever you are moving to.
