Going abroad can present you with unforeseen challenges. Some of the best ways to prepare for these challenges is to learn the language, read about the destination country's culture and keep an open mind. Even then, you really cannot read enough about your new home. Experienced global nomads already know this. Most of the aspects of the new culture you will just have to experience to begin to understand them.
We have put together a list of resources, such as ebooks, software downloads, online tools etc. to help ease the transition.
