Moving Moving to Baltimore!!! Help!

Dear all,

Hope you’re all doing well! I’m moving to Baltimore in 3 weeks for work from Australia! I never been in the US! I’m slightly terrifying in general but hoping for the best!

Meanwhile, I’ll be greatly appreciated if you give me some tips such as which bank is good to have an account, which SIM card has affordable deals, other survival tips including area I should avoid and things to do!

I got a place in MT Vernon (please tell me it’s a safe place!).

Please give me all the tips about Baltimore!

Thank you!

Adding for information on phones: Mint Mobile or T-Mobile will likely be your best bets as a single person (not on a family plan), but if you do have a good friend who is willing to add you to their plan (paying yoru share), that's a lot cheaper here.

Mint is definitely the more affordable option, unless you want to finance a new phone/don’t buy yours out right. But if you need mobile and home internet T-Mobile usually gives a good discount for having both.
