Have You Ever Moved To An Area Where You Knew No One? by ThaThinka(op): 5:50pm On Apr 20, 2025
Hello, everyone! I was wondering if anyone reading this has moved to a new state, region, or country where they knew absolutely no one at one time or another.

I would like to know what the experience was like, especially how you were able to get work and accommodation (as a stranger). Plus, how did you spend your lone time?

Your responses will be quite useful if you have this sort of experience. Thanks in anticipation.

It's always very difficult at the start because no one wants to hire someone without recommendations. But if you are strong enough, you'll find your feet.

I remembered when i visited iree polytechnic for my admission... I knows no one there... I just board a bus there .. after all enquiry.. I just went to one Jedi joint and I brought Jedi for all indigene I saw sitting there .. that's where the conversation started and I was everything I need to know... I got one of the best house through 1 of the guy ... He even introduced me to one of the lecturer ... If you want to know more about a particular area . Just contact those women selling Jedi or sachet drive... They have the story of every house there.. those bad and good house will be reveal to you.

Yeah, I agree.

But getting a job is not even my main problem. For now, I may only need one to keep busy in such a new place. Finance will not be the main driver - at least, initially.

I was just wondering what the life would be like in a place where you have no one at all. Like would that be safe for the person? Will it be easy to rent a place to stay? I mean concerns like that about living conditions.

Moving to a place where you know no one, is a big risk.
But if you can afford to lodge in a hotel then go about your search for either job or anything

Then you came prepared

Personal security is at the top of that risk concern. The rest is just about how I will fit in in such a place.

That's a good piece of advice about lodging in a hotel, though. I can afford that, especially since luxury won't be a priority for me. Thanks.

One can still see cheaper hotels that wants to run business quickly, just that that cheap may not be cheap

It also depends on how much you have budgeted for that

Besides no one embarks on a journey without a purpose

So you ha e to weigh the benefits of that journey ans what you have as money to spend
