Isolati<strong>on</strong><br />
Dairy <strong>farm</strong>s are often a l<strong>on</strong>g way from shops or schools. You may have to<br />
walk for half an hour to meet your next-door neighbours. It is easy to feel<br />
isolated.<br />
Your employer should be able to help you get around when you first arrive,<br />
but eventually you will need to have some transport so you can get into<br />
the nearest town to, for instance:<br />
» buy groceries<br />
» play sport<br />
» see the doctor<br />
» socialise with friends<br />
» take part in religious activities<br />
