to get comfortable in a new place · to adjust to a new environment
You've just arrived at your Airbnb after a long flight, and all you want to do is unpack, grab a snack, and maybe binge-watch something. 😴 This expression is perfect for talking about getting cozy and comfortable in your new temporary home before you start exploring!
💡 **Pro-tip!** We often use 'settle in' when talking about travel, moving to a new city, or even starting a new job. It implies making yourself at home and getting adjusted. You can say 'I need some time to settle in' or 'I'm finally settled in!'
When would you most appropriately use 'to settle in'? A. ✈️ When you're boarding a plane for your trip. B. 🏠 When you've just arrived at your hotel and are unpacking your bags. C. 👋 When you're saying goodbye to friends before leaving for a trip.
