About LandedCity
Why we built this
Moving to a new city is exciting — until you realise you have no idea which SIM card works for expats, which bank account you can open without a local address, or which neighbourhood is actually safe and affordable. I spent hours digging through Reddit threads, outdated blog posts, and Facebook groups full of conflicting advice just to answer questions that someone who had moved a year earlier could answer in five minutes.
LandedCity was born from that frustration. The idea is simple: the best guide to settling into a new city is not written by a travel blogger — it is written by someone who just did it. Someone who actually stood in that queue, opened that bank account, and learned which streets to avoid at rush hour.
We built a platform where those people can share what they know, where every tip is reviewed before it goes live, and where a newcomer landing today can find an honest, specific answer in minutes instead of hours.
