If you’re moving to an unfamiliar place, meet your new best friend: the Internet!
Okay, maybe it already was your best friend, but now it’s going to take on a new role. Here are three major ways the Internet can help you settle into your new home:
- Neighbor websites – Websites, like Nextdoor.com, allow neighbors to join private groups, where they can ask questions, like “does anybody have scissors?”, and set up a time for the neighborhood-wide water balloon fight we all dreamed of as children.
- Local reviews – Websites, like Yelp!, allow people to find local businesses and get candid reviews about them.
- Route planning – Google maps and other online maps can help you plan routes, including public transit, for your epic explorations of your new city/town.
