1 Research
Investigate as much as you can about your proposed new location and try to make a trip to the area, to find out what it has to offer before you commit.
2 Organise
Leave plenty of time for preparing those all important documents such as visas, passports and customs forms.
3 Plan ahead
Look for job opportunities, local schools and places to live before you move, to make settling in that much easier.
4 Talk to people
Find out what it’s really like to move abroad by chatting with people who are already there, possibly online.
5 Sort out and de-clutter
Now is a good time to get rid of those things you never use before the packing begins.
