Stranger In A Strange Land

Finding your feet after a move to a new country, or even a new town, can be exciting. It's also often stressful with many emotional ups and downs - adjusting to a different language or culture can take time and make us feel a bit isolated. But if you look around, you'll find local social and support groups are just a phone call away.

Finding a foothold

Use AngloINFO to help you to find the contacts you may need. Firstly, see The AngloFILE category Relocation & Help Moving to Italy for organisations specialising in simplifying the process of settling in to a new country or region. 

You may find your country's consular office in your new home surprisingly helpful with administrative assistance and advice while you get yourself established. For details on services available and links to pertinent consulates, see the Citizen Guides INFOrmation Page.

Browse through the Community Life: Liguria category of The AngloFILE, where you'll find contact information for social and special- interest groups listed under Clubs & Associations. Or see the Support Groups category to find a helping hand in tougher times. 

The AngloINFO Forum provides a very effective way to ask advice, share experiences, and find new friends in the region, in English. See the sections under Liguria Living, where you can start or participate in discussions on family life, animal matters or local media and entertainment.
