What to avoid when you are living abroad
Visiting, studying or making business in a foreign country is a challenge. Based on my experience these are the 3 priorities that you must keep in mind in order to be on the safe side.
🏃♂️ Health and fitness
Emergency rooms, hospitals, doctors or even pharmacies can be a challenge and trigger extra burden to your local friends and colleagues, if available. Not knowing your whereabouts and seeking health services requires luck and money.
- Eat healthy. Select simple dishes and avoid risk taking with food
- Walk, run and exercise regularly. Stay mentally and physically fit.
- Groom, wash and treat yourself with care. Your outside reflects your inside and ... there is no second chance for the first impression!
- Sleep well. Sleep 8 hours/day in a cool ambient room
👮♂️ Avoid messing up with the law
Legal system and regulations vary a lot from country to country. Stay out of any trouble and avoid legal implications. Remember, you are a foreigner!
🙂 Fit with the crowd
Don't stand out. Your personal safety depends on how you mingle with people and how you read and respond to various incidents and unforeseen circumstances.
