Moving country, city or neighbourhood is often an incredibly stressful process. The packing, the unpacking, the air freight vs the sea freight, which neighbourhood, which school and where do I get a really really good coffee?! Now imagine all of that when you don’t speak the language and without someone offering family services to get you settled! Oh sorry, if you reading this I probably don’t need to tell you to imagine it! You living it!!
Admittedly, when you move, relocation agency’s are very good at ensuring that Maslow’s first Hierarchy of needs are met. For example you will not be homeless and you will have WiFi 😜 after that however, you on your own! But, as we all know, whilst that is incredibly important a move is only as successful as the family settling in and not jumping on a plane straight back to where they came from.

Oh what I wouldn’t have given to have Sandra and her services at my disposal! I had some incredibly stressful moments when I first arrived! Finding a paediatrician being just one of them, and I would have loved someone to guide me through.
