Start your
housing
search
1 Try sites such as Airbnb,
Wimdu and Friendly Rentals –
if nothing else, they’ll provide
you with temporary housing
options while you get a feel for
your new city.
2 Join a Girl Gone International
city or expat group on Facebook and ask for recommendations for rental agencies.
New cities and cultures are
hard to navigate and anyone
who has been through it before will be more than happy
to assist.
3 Get a feel for the ‘culture’ of
housing in your new country.
For instance, did you know that
80% of housing in Iceland is
privately owned? The website
InterNations has great expat
relocation guides with information regarding how rentals are
handled in almost 400 cities.
