Have you ever made a major move in life to a new country or town?

If so what kind of things settled you in?. I wont be taking furniture for example, so I just think I will be lacking something familiar. Aside from that, what types of things made you feel more at home? I suspect learning the village layout may help. Meeting a few friends, and getting to know a few shops. Because I am leaving a very tropical place for a very cold and historic type place, I might feel a little alien at first.

Even if you haven’t made such a big move, I’d love to hear what “you” think could make a person feel more comfortable in a brand new environment. I know that loads of candles and my favorite lavender burning will count heaps for example. Plus a few personal items. I have a special someone there, I am going to meet after knowing him ten years on the net. I know he will do his best to make me feel calmer. I also thought of writing a list of thing I will not miss here! and a few things I am looking forward to over “there”. Would love any inspirations, thank you!
