 Hi guys, you are watching OxyVlogs and today I'm gonna give you 3 tips how you can overcome your fears and finally move to Dubai. I moved here almost 7 years ago and I was planning to stay here for 2-3 years as many other experts to earn some money, work on my English, gain some international experience. When I was living in Ukraine I was full of doubts, fears and nervous about moving abroad but as you see I'm doing great, nothing bad has happened to me, I can easily adapt to the new environment now and these 7 years taught me some valuable lessons. I realized that living an expert life is not that easy, some people struggle but the only thing I know that this is an experience and you have to treat it that way because it makes your life richer. Tip number one do some research and plan properly. I know some people that buy one-way tickets, save some money and they think they will get a job when they come to Dubai. This approach has worked for some of them and it's a great way to start but if you have fears and doubts I advise you to get a job before you even buy a plane ticket. Companies usually provide visas and health insurance and some of them can even get a plane ticket for you and cover your accommodation for the first month. This way you will feel more confident and secure and you will know that you will get a salary at the end of the month and in general a proper planning can cancel out many of your fears. Think about where you're gonna stay, how much money you need to spend on food. There are two websites propertyfinderanddubizl.com where you can do some research about accommodation and I have a video on my channel about the cost of living in Dubai so check it out. Tip number two you need to accept that it might not work out how you imagined. I've never met someone who told me that moving abroad was the mistake. Even if they hated their job, they hated where they lived, they miss their family, they still say that moving abroad was one of the best decisions they ever made. If you build a strategic plan you have all chances to build the life you want but there is always the chance that something will go wrong and you have to be ready for it. This won't be the end of the world, you can always go back home even if you don't like Dubai you can move to another country, explore other cities, there are so many beautiful places in the world. The most important thing you should understand that building a life in a new country especially in such multicultural city like Dubai takes time, it's not easy, you will have a lot of challenges ups and downs but you have to be strong, positive, believe in yourself and just move forward. Tip number three start building your network before you move to Dubai. Many people are thinking about how they're gonna find new friends in the new country and it's normal because you will feel lonely for the first time, you will have a culture shock and you need to know that your new life will be completely different from the life you used to from the food you eat, languages you speak, currency you use, where you live, how you work and let's go back to your planning. So when you're looking for a job start connect with people who live in Dubai so when you come to Dubai you can get in touch with them, invite them for a coffee, there are plenty of Facebook groups for experts in Dubai so you should join them as well. If you have any hobbies attend the events workshops meet with people because there you can find someone who has the same interests. Dubai is all about networking, building relationships because 75% of the population here are experts and most of us were in the same position. We had to come to Dubai, find a job, meet new people, adapt to the new culture environment and if you want to succeed you have to be proactive, open-minded, adapt to the new culture environment, let go of your expectations. This is the best way to become a part of the community. So that's completely fine to be afraid of moving abroad. It means that you worry about your future, your life, your plans, but make sure that your doubts and fears don't stop you from doing the thing you always dreamed of. Thank you for watching, I hope this my tips helped you to overcome your fears. If you have any questions please leave them in the comments below and I will see you in the next video. Bye-bye!
