Cape Town - Commonly experienced by travellers, expats and exchange students, “culture shock" describes the impact of moving from a familiar culture to an unfamiliar one.
" It’s the surprise of a new environment, with new people and a new way of life. It also includes the initial separation anxieties that occur when you’re taken out of close contact with the important people in your life. That could be partners, friends, family, colleagues or teachers – all the people who you would seek advice from in terms of uncertainty."
Work the World has put together this infographic detailing exactly why getting in a solid dose of culture shock is good for you.
