International moving

Moving across the ocean can be a scary, yet exciting adventure.

There are so many variables and things to think about when it comes to moving internationally. You have to plan ahead to figure out everything you’ll need to make a smooth transition.

It can seem overwhelming, which is why we are here to help. As Miami international movers, we have been moving families and individuals across the ocean for years.  We know how stressful and overwhelming it can be.  We have put together a few tips to help you prepare for this move of a lifetime:

  • Secure Housing- You need to know where you are moving. Don’t just shop on Craigslist either.  Have someone there help you and/or go there yourself to find the right place for you.  Consider location, amenities, size, and most importantly, consider your budget.
  • Documents- Moving overseas without proper documentation is impossible. Make sure you have all your immigration documents ready before you board the plane. This also includes any customs forms and pet forms.
  • Prioritize Items- Figure out what you are going to be taking with you and what you’re going to leave behind.  It’s a good idea to explore all options to make sure you are making the right choice for your budget and your new home. 
  • Start Packing- Once your shipped items are on their way, pack up your belongings.  Be sure to pay attention to how many checked bags as well as size and weight restrictions.  It might be more cost effective to pay for a second or third bag rather than go over on the weight.
  • Say Your Goodbyes- You’re all packed up and ready to go.  It’s time to say goodbye to family and friends back home and head to the airport.  Don’t forget to stay in touch! Having friends visit is a lot of fun!

When it comes to international moves, there are a lot of things to consider and plan.  With the proper preparation, you will be able to look forward to the journey ahead.
