I always lived in big international cities like Paris, London, Tokyo, New York without any problem but Atlanta is not a city so I felt really isolated, could not communicate the same way I did when I was in New York. I was also used to public transportation so I was really scarred by the huge trucks driving on highways having 4-5 lanes
Yes the honey moon lasted 3 months, then irritation-anger another 6 months and then really enjoyed the last 24 months.
Anxiety when taking highways. I did not like the house, felt unsecured so we moved again after 6 months to a much better area.
Atlanta is a small city with big green suburbs. People are friendly, more relaxed than in NYC. I enjoyed having a big house in a small private community, it is very green. I enjoyed the parks, lakes and mountains. The weather was great, I love the heat so was happy in "Hotlanta". A lot of outdoor activities and summer camps for kids. Very active support groups for small business owners and women's group.
Difficulty to share experience with local people
Even if you are a serial expat like me being abroad for 20 years, you may experiment at any time culture shock. For me it was a shock to discover that the mentality and lifestyle were totally different in New York and in Georgia.
Be prepared before you leave by contacting people who share same interests and who are already establish in your new location. Use social media to ask advices and establish a virtual network so it will be easier to meet people in person once you arrive there.
Take enough time to choose your house and neighborhood, if possible by living in a flat hotel before your stuff arrive. If you can't then contact other expats living there to know what to expect, if rental is better than buying, prices, best locations, traffic, best school districts.
If you have kids, try to volunteer at school, you will meet great people.
