Expats Moving to Adana

If you're moving to Adana, the chances are that you'll find the city warm and welcoming. Those who have little experience of Asia will find this a city that, although eastern in many regards, will not prove too much of a cultural shock; it is affectionately known as the City-Sized Village. Locals are friendly and keen to introduce 'yabancı' – foreigners – to their culture and especially to their local cuisine. Of course, InterNations is here to help you ensure that your arrival goes smoothly. You can find indispensable discussion groups where you can ask for helpful tips from other expats on moving to Adana, and the Expat Magazine, which is full of useful and interesting articles on everything from expatriate insurance to cross-cultural communication. These articles are a great way to touch base as you settle into the city. Of course, there is no substitute for tips from other global minds who have made the same transition.

Getting Used to Working in Adana

Turkey is an entrepreneurial country with a penchant for business and you'll find working in Adana a rewarding experience.

You may wish to try your hand at learning a little Turkish, which is a challenging language but by no means an impossible one. Of course, many expats are also keen to socialize with other international individuals. InterNations forums and discussion groups are a practical way to organize a get-together with other expatriates living in Adana with a similar wish to find an international network.
