A personal plan for starting life in a new country — what to do now, what comes next, and local guides you can trust.
HomiStart helps people who move abroad feel at home from day one. It turns a move into a personal plan — what matters before arrival, in the first week and in the first month — and backs every step with local guides that cite official sources.
It starts with Berlin and Germany and already covers cities such as Paris, Amsterdam, Vienna, Dublin, Lisbon, Barcelona, Toronto, Sydney and New York, in ten languages. It is free and without ads, and every guide can be read without an account.
Moving to Germany taught me how much of a new start depends on doing the right things in the right order — and how hard it is to find out what those things are.
Newcomers piece together their first months from forums, outdated blog posts and official sites in a language they don't read yet. Steps depend on each other, deadlines matter, and mistakes are costly.
