At home I had well-known points of reference: I knew where to go, what to do and I was familiar with many people. This gave me a sense of security and belonging. When I left, I lost that. I sometimes had the impression to have less control over my situation. I felt a little bit lost because at the beginning all the places and people were new to me. Little by little I gained confidence and orientation again: I became familiar with the places, the persons around me, the customs or the rules in the new place, what made me feel more secure and oriented me in building my life in a new place.
