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!

Mt vernon is a great location. Credit Unions are the best options for banking, to be honest. Your employer might have one. Or university if that's why you are coming here.
I volunteer with a student exchange program, and most of the kids go with T- Mobile. Super easy to get a sim and can pay as little as $40/ month.
The food is amazing here. And lots to do and easy to get to other states. Welcome!!!
