Honestly I was accompanied by my mother when I first arrived in Germany. Going out there on your true lonesome is pretty scary- That said it's definitely a lot of researching before hand, and if you can, plan with folks you might know in the area you're going to

Full time job, a spreadsheet / breakdown of your expenses and expenditures per month, and talking with a friend that is known well on what area to move to. Ideally knowing the area and how the commute affects your job and grocery options. Splitting chores between each other. That sotra stuff.

generally you need to figure who you're moving in with, plan together for where to go based on cost of living, employment opportunities, etc and when you find a suitable place to live that you can realistically afford you contact them and make arrangements. it helps to seek jobs in the place

that you want to move to before moving there but that's not always viable especially in the current job market, which is Pretty Bad, All Things Considered. but like essentially you have to communicate and coordinate with whoever you're moving in with for it to work out
