5 Tips When New To Town
Moving to a new town comes with a lot of excitement, but also with feelings of uncertainty and being overwhelmed. Whether you’ve moved for a new job, to be closer to family or simply for a change of scenery, getting settled can feel like a daunting task. Fear not, for we have compiled five useful tips to help you adjust and thrive in your new surroundings.
- Online setup.
Open a bank account and get everything setup. Reliabank has a one stop, easy to use Make The Switch Kit to help you get started. Be sure verify that your electric, gas, water, heating and cooling, and internet are set up. Then call your local waste management facility to ensure that your new home is set up for garbage pickup as well.
- Join local events.
Search your local newspaper, chamber event calendar or coffee shop poster wall to find some local events and festivities. These local events are a great way to connect with the culture and meet others from your town.
- Find a place to volunteer.
Think about putting in some time at an animal shelter, a food bank, or soup kitchen. You’ll make friends and help out your community in the process.
- Explore the area on foot or by bike
You can get a general idea of what’s around your new home in the car, but you’ll get a more specific view of the establishments that make up your area on foot or bicycle. Concentrate on the downtown area of where you live since that’s likely where you’ll find the bulk of the important businesses that you’ll frequent as a resident.
