I relocated from California to the Minneapolis. While my situation isn't exactly the same, I think it still applies: - Don't focus on what things you love that aren't present in your new location. Rather focus on what your new location has to offer and find new things you love. - Establish your routines ASAP. If that means finding a gym, trails to run / bike, meetups, etc. The busier you are, especially building a new life, the better off you'll be. - Meet people at work. As the new person, others oftentimes make invitations / gestures. Come to my house for dinner, let's grab lunch, etc. Take them up on those offers. Nothing makes you feel more at home than having friends, or less at home than not having them. - It's not just you. Your girlfriend needs to feel like she's building a new home. Encourage her to do the aforementioned things too; as well as try to make invitations to dinner / activities opportunities for your gf connect as well.
