Do you think you are able to soberly assess the situation and your capabilities?
I am often told that I rely on my dreams, and not on objective reality.
Sometimes it is difficult for me to assess the state of affairs, but in general I cope with it.
I think I clearly distinguish between my fantasies and real possibilities. For example, I dream of traveling a lot, but I still do it based on my budget, and not on my wishes.

Do you manage to accept new phenomena and feelings for you and adapt to them?
Easily! And what, for someone it is a problem?
In some cases, I find it difficult to accept some new things in my life.
Any changes in my life, even the smallest ones, are usually difficult for me.

How do you solve problems in the new environment? For example, in a situation where you got a job that is not very familiar to you.
I easily find solutions to problems and tasks. If I am doing something for the first time, it is not difficult for me to ask for advice from those who are already experienced in this matter.
In new conditions for me, I am lost and it is difficult for me to start solving something
I need time. But in the end I'll find the right solution on my own

How do you usually deal with stressful situations?
Trying to figure out why this situation has become stressful for me. As the saying goes: the first step to solving a problem is to recognize the problem.
I try to rationally approach the matter: for example, make a plan for how I will get out of this situation. But I won’t forget about my psychological state: if I feel depressed, I won’t force myself to act
I ignore the situation and try to disconnect from it through TV shows, video games, food, or even alcohol.

How open are you to new cultural experiences?
It can be difficult for me to adapt: no matter how hard I try, I can’t accept some other people’s features.
It is difficult for me to communicate with people of a different culture, especially if it is very different from the culture of my country
I'm interested in other cultures, and I'm not averse to trying to live by their rules

Why are you even planning to emigrate?
Good question! I really don’t know why I want to leave: it’s like just a lot of people do it. Yes, and I haven't made a final decision about it yet.
I want to leave my country for reasons that I unfortunately have no control over
Because I want to live in a country that attracts me more than mine

Maybe you already have experience of moving to another country, or at least within your own country?
Yes, and it was a good experience
Yes. But this, to be honest, was traumatic for me.
I live in the same city all my life

Do you know the language of the country where you are going to move?
So far I don't even know the basic phrases. But are they easy to learn?
Not really. My level is enough to order coffee. But it is unlikely that I will dare to prove something to the local policeman on my own or make new friends.
I know it well: my knowledge is definitely enough not only to refuse the package at the checkout

Do you like meeting new people?
It takes me a lot of time to get to know each other. At least to get used to a new person
I do it all the time! It's enough for me to leave the house
It's hard for me to make new acquaintances because I hardly trust people
Back Further
Do you have friends or relatives in the country where you plan to move?
I have no acquaintances or friends in the country where I plan to move
There are no very close people. But there are acquaintances to whom you can turn if you really, really need
My friends or family members live there. That is, I have people whom I can trust in case of emergency.
Back Further
Who are you planning to move with?
Together with a spouse, romantic partner or family member
I'm not traveling alone, but I'm the only one who organizes the move
I am moving on my own. There is no one to ask for support either.
Back Further
Do you already know what you will do in a new country?
Everything is thought out! I have a place of work or study in a new country
I have absolutely no idea what I'm going to do. Therefore, there are no options now - I will decide on the spot
There are no specific options for working or studying in a new country yet, but I am actively looking for them right now
Back Further
Are you ready for a drop in living standards for the first time after moving?
Most likely, my standard of living at first will be lower than usual. But I understand it
Actually, I'm getting ready to move. Therefore, this fact will not affect my standard of living in any way. The maximum is negligible
It really scares me that my standard of living will become lower. I still don't know how to deal with it
Back Further
Do you have savings in case of unforeseen circumstances? (No, we are not from the tax office!)
I don't have savings. I'll go without them, I'll figure it out along the way
I think that my savings are enough to not only survive in an emergency, but even maintain a normal standard of living for some time.
There are some savings. But it is not a fact that they will be enough for something more than unforeseen expenses.
Back Further
Are you preparing to move in any way?
I understand that adaptation is important. I try to learn as much as possible about the new country and its culture in advance: I read the blogs of other emigrants on the Internet, I ask questions to my friends who have already been there at least as tourists
I read several books and a couple of blogs. But in general, my knowledge of the new country is rather superficial.
No. How can I prepare for this?
