Do I need to be savvy on orientation?

For sure this helps but, as someone with ADHD and has the most appalling orientation skills, it doesn’t make life easy, but you can do it, I promise. Clearly, it helps if you can negotiate your way comfortably through web sites, Google maps and bus timetables but you can manage without such a skill. Ask for support from people around you, best way to make good local contact and friends. Don’t be afraid of getting lost, it can lead you to things you didn’t expect to see!
