During the transition of cultures, music can play an important role. Music tends to remind us of past experiences or catapult us into new ones. It can help us cry when we need to, or feel renewed, energized, and like taking action. Sometimes it’s ideal for inner calm. All in all, music can have a profound experience of our emotions.

On my first trip to France, I recorded all the songs I heard (practically!) On “NRJ” – my favorite radio station in France! When I listen to these songs today, I am transported in the wonderful memories of that moment in my life.

The other thing I have noticed, when I live and travel abroad, is that the music varies greatly from country to country – at least some of it. If you focus on things other than American pop songs playing everywhere, you can start to travel to the culture you live in. Finding local music that you enjoy can help you make new memories in your new home.

You might be eager to hear a song you like – creating some excitement, which can be especially helpful on days when you’re feeling a little down. Music, of course, can also lead to dancing – whether you watch others as a local cultural event, or go to a dance club or bar – again, music can create fun and joy. activity for you.

So, as you move on to a new culture, here are some ideas, revolving around music, that might help you:

1. Before you move out, create a special CD or mix for your MP3 player / cell phone (whatever gadget you might be using!) That reminds you of the good times you have at home. You can listen to this music whenever you feel a little homesick to help remind yourself that you haven’t lost your connection at home. You can be with him in mind and in memory whenever you need to.
2. After you get moving, find the local radio stations with the beats / beats / sounds you enjoy the most. (I don’t want to use terms like “rock, classic, etc.” as they may not match what you have access to). If you find music that you particularly enjoy, consider buying a CD of that artist and going to a concert, if he plays in your area – use your favorite music to show you the world.
3. If you hear a song that you like several times and can’t understand the artist, I hope you will hear it someday in a bar, cafe etc, ask the waiter / waitress if he knows the name. It’s a good way to start a conversation and help you connect with local music.
4. As you find more and more music that you like, be sure to collect some of the songs. If you end up repatriating you will have a wonderful collection of songs to connect with the place you left
