One of the most stressful activities we can face in life is moving home. No matter how many times you do it, it is a difficult situation. And it is even more so, obviously, when you move to a different culture and language.

Whether Lima is your first move abroad or the tenth foreign posting in your career, the secret is the same everywhere: relax, be flexible, hang loose.

Above all, approach Lima with a sense of adventure and a sense of humour.

When you find yourself faced with attitudes, opinions or even values that appear to be diametrically opposed to yours, remember: different country, different history, therefore different customs and attitudes.
