Cultural Surprises & Shocks
Making a major transition in your life requires some period of time for adjustment to the new circumstances.
You have probably heard of “culture shock”. The term "culture shock" was coined to describe a specific type of reaction that can occur when people travel abroad or confront ways of life substantially different from their own.
Culture shock is caused by the stress of entering and adjusting to an unfamiliar culture. To some extent, the degree of culture shock experienced varies depending on how different the country is in contrast to your own.
Of course, personal factors and your goals for travelling abroad will influence how quickly and appropriately you can "fit in" and, therefore, the level of culture shock you will feel.
