Although this is a valid concern, technology has made staying in touch simple!Individuals moving overseas used to deal with expensive phone calls, inconvenient flights home and mail service that can take weeks to be delivered.
Although the long flights home are still inconvenient, staying in touch is no longer an issue.

Snail Mail and Email
Although you will need to use snail mail for sending packages, you no longer need to rely on the postal service for message delivery.
If you need to deliver presents or other items in a timelier manner, you can use overnight or priority delivery services.
However, these rush deliveries might cost you a pretty penny!
Email is an instant form of communication that has replaced snail mail and has become more accessible worldwide.
The internet is available in remote parts of the world, so you will be hard pressed to find a place without an internet connection.
Even if your home is not internet accessible, there is likely an internet café nearby that you can utilize.
Use a free web-based email service that is accessible from any computer like Hotmail or Gmail.
Facebook is also a great way to keep all of your friends and family updated easily.
You can post updates and pictures so they know how you are adjusting to your new life overseas.

Blog
If you enjoy writing, blogging is a simple way to provide regular updates.
If your friends and family are interested in reading about your new endeavors, they can easily log onto your blog to find out what has been happening in your life.
This is a great alternative to email so you won’t overload other people’s email inboxes.
WordPress and Blogger are just two of many websites that offer free hosting of blogs.

Video Links
Internet services like Skype, Google Talk and Yahoo Messenger offer free phone and video links to keep you connected to love ones.
The best part about these services is that they are free!
You can talk to your friends and family just by logging into your account.
The video capabilities allow your overseas companions to see that you are happy in your new surroundings. 
Setting up regular online chats can help ease the loneliness you might feel when you relocate overseas.
If you have an older computer, you may not have a built in microphone or webcam.
These items are inexpensive and can be purchased online or in most stores that sell computer accessories.
If you do not have a webcam, you can still use these free services to talk online at no charge.
If people you want to stay in touch with are not signed up for these services, you can use Skype to call cell phones and landlines for a very small fee.

Phone
Phone calls from your cell phone or landline are probably the most expensive option.
However, if the internet is not an option for you, at least you have another form of communication available.
There are also international texting plans.

There are many pros and cons to consider before making the life changing move.

Pros

Higher Standard of Living
Housekeepers, chefs, nannies and other household help may be cost prohibitive in the United States.
These services may be less expensive when moving overseas, which can be a big help when managing your household.
Housing prices may also be less in your new adopted country.
This means you might be able to afford a home with a view, or a bigger home that can accommodate your need for more space.
Eating out regularly might also put less pressure on your wallet, so you don’t have to worry about cooking or cleaning up.

 Cultural Diversity
International moves give you the opportunity to immerse yourself in a new culture.
You will experience new food, new people, new sights to see, new customs and maybe even a new language.
Living in a new country will offer you a rewarding experience you can’t get from traveling.
You will become a local and find new hot spots, celebrate different holidays and communicate with people with different backgrounds.

Traveling
Moving overseas gives you the opportunity to explore another part of the world.
If you are moving to Europe, you can take a weekend trip to Paris or London.
If you are moving to Asia, you will be able to travel to different Asian locations with shorter and less expensive flights.
Consider yourself lucky that you will have the unique opportunity to explore the world if traveling is a hobby. 

Cons

Missing Family and Friends
One of the biggest concerns with moving overseas is the time you will have with your friends and family.
However, technological advances have made it much easier to stay in touch with loved ones.
There are video conferencing websites, such as Skype, that allow you to see and speak to people at no charge.
You can also plan for your friends and family to come visit you and you can make regular visits home.

Communication
If the local language differs from your native tongue, the language barriers are obvious.
It can be frustrating trying to communicate what you want at a restaurant or when getting directions if you are lost.
Even if the locals in your new country speak the same language, you will still need time to adjust to the differences in communicating.
Non-verbal communication, such as public affection or eye contact, is something you should take into consideration.
However, don’t let language barriers prevent you from moving.
There are plenty of resources to help you learn a new language ahead of time.
Once you practice daily and get used to the local customs, you will fit into your new country in no time!

New Social Network
Making new friends can be very difficult for some people – especially if language is an issue.
However, you can make new friends at work, volunteer with people who have similar interests or meet people at your gym.
There are plenty of places to make new friends!
If you are more comfortable with people from your home country, there are websites that cater to expats for this very reason.
You can go to social gatherings that other expats are hosting or join groups listed on the websites.

If you do decide to move overseas, get ready for a culturally rich and rewarding experience.

• Attend local events

  You might meet someone outside of your department that has similar interests.
  Locate your local embassy and attend their social functions to meet other people from your home country and you will also meet locals at these events.
• Join a playgroup
  If you have children, join a local playgroup.
  Not only does this give your children an opportunity to make friends, but you will find parents with children that are similar ages.
• Volunteer
  Find a cause that you are passionate about and volunteer your time.
  Meeting people while volunteering is a great way to find other individuals who already have something in common with you because they share a passion for a cause that is near and dear to your heart.
• Join a gym
  Fitness facilities offer classes to stay in shape.
  After a couple classes, you will start to recognize the faces of regular attendees which will give you the opportunity to strike up a conversation.
• Join a church, mosque or temple
  If you are affiliated with a religion, start attending services at your chosen place of worship.
  Volunteer and attend activities put on by the religious organization to meet other people who share common interests.
• Visit local restaurants and bars
  Stop by a local restaurant or bar after work or on the weekend and strike up conversations with other patrons.
  This relaxed atmosphere will allow you to have natural discussions and will give you an opportunity to meet locals.
• Meet your neighbors
  Invite your neighbors over for coffee or dinner to get better acquainted with the people who live in your neighborhood.
  If your neighbors are native to your new adopted country, research the local customs to find out what is customary to serve as food and drink in social settings.
• Find other foreigners
  Although limiting your friendships to other expats will limit your cultural experience, you may want to connect with other expats so you feel less isolated in your new home.
  There are many websites geared towards individuals who relocate overseas, so find forums on your city to find out where other foreigners go to eat, have drinks and other social interactions.
• Make a Connection
  If you find an individual or a group of people who you feel connected to, ask them to meet for coffee, lunch or another activity.
  Oftentimes people are genuinely interested in making new friends, but are too shy to take the first step in developing a friendship.
  Be proactive and outgoing and soon enough you will attract like-minded people to expand your social network.

Maintaining friendships with people in your home country is very important, but developing new friendships in your new country is imperative to a successful relocation.

Don’t get discouraged if you don’t make deep connections with people right away.

Building friendships will take time, but the experiences are often very rewarding.
