i lucked out, the people where i moved accepted me. I have developed quite a network in 2 years.

But then i am a conservative and a lover of God.

I got people on speed dial to help me out if i need it. For anything. Often for free or in exchange for my skills. I have developed a lot of skills.

The social aspect is key out here. Trying to do it all yourself is a fools errand. Also dont expect things to happen overnight.
