When you prepared for overseas education, did your coaching institute offer any guidance on managing homesickness or loneliness? Similarly, as a professional heading abroad for work, were you provided with training to navigate the challenges of living and working in a foreign country?

I certainly didn't. When my company first sent me to the UK and later to South Africa, I had to navigate everything myself. Most companies provide a basic HR orientation covering practicalities such as getting a bus pass, budgeting, and finding affordable groceries. However, they rarely address the aspects that truly impact the quality of life-dealing with racism, adhering to workplace etiquette, dressing smartly, or practising proper table manners. From understanding cultural nuances to coping with loneliness at weekends and overcoming culture shock, I had to learn everything through trial and error. That's what inspired me to put together this guide, as the things I went through were valuable lessons I wanted to share.
