2nd time expat - need advice

Social / Personal

So I grew up from age 5-9 in the UK, I’m originally from the US.

I’m about to move abroad with family, and I’m nervous about it.

I have Cerebral Palsy and a Vision Impairment, I’m late 20’s, I’m self sufficient excluding a few things like tying my shoes or driving.

Ireland offers a free travel pass which I qualify for as a dual US UK citizen, which will help independence and finding a job. Family has already settled on a phone plan, I’d pay for my line.

I’m just struggling with the soon to be adjustment, we’re flying out KLM (US to Amsterdam AMS then layover, then Amsterdam to Ireland Schipol), with two pets ( cat and dog ) and that’s my main concern, how to cope okay?

Advice?
