New Fork
Tipps for you
01. Make a plan and a backup plan too
Congratulations, you decided to embark on a new journey, so let’s get ready and design your new chapter. Pencil down whatever comes to your mind how this new venture might look like, also your biggest fears. Then let’s address each of your thoughts with a plan how to tackle it, just feel that you’re capable of handling everything out there, right?
02. Get support along the way
Ask for support if you feel you’re stuck or something is unknown, there’s for sure somebody out there who’s been there, done that, knows somebody who can be a helping hand. Make friends with locals, your neighbours, new colleagues, don’t be a stranger!
03. Cry it out, treat yourself
If Step 1 and 2 still didn’t work, cry it out, that’s normal, just release the frustration, sadness, loneliness…and you’ll feel better again. Remember, there’s always sunshine after the rain! And in the meantime, pizza’s always a good idea too!

Tipps for two
04. Make a joint decision
New Forks mean new directions, thus make sure, you both are on the same trip. Did you talk it through with your partner where you’re heading at and why? Do it like a pilot, plan the trip with your whole crew, especially your co-pilot and make sure everybody knows the routing and got the briefing. Also count in potential thunderstorms and how to navigate them without losing controls. Plus you might want to decide on an alternate if Plan A doesn’t work out.
05. Start some sports together
Activity always helps, it can start as a simple walk’n talk which gives you the chance to discuss the new fork in life while discovering the new area and opportunities along the way.Maybe you even find a new sport which you can do together to immerse yourselves in the social life abroad.
06. Laugh and cry together, and get some pizza
There will be blows, hurdles, disappointments – expecially after the honeymoon phase of the new adventure wears off. So be prepared to ventilate your frustrations in a healthy way, have a big cry, then laugh it off together and have a pizza and feel good movie, this normally resets your good vibe buttons!
