9 Things to Know if You’re Moving Outside the US

by Tazim Damji Leave a Comment

Whether moving abroad for work, studies, or family, navigating the entire process can be emotionally and mentally tiring. That being said, a lot of Americans are still moving abroad. The 2022 Coldwell Banker Global Luxury Survey found that 92 percent of affluent Americans considered moving abroad last year.  This is because of several factors, including advantageous exchange rates, the move to remote employment, and a very strong US dollar. Even people living in Florida, one of the best ...

There have been a lot of changes going on at the company I work for—mostly people leaving for higher pay elsewhere. A few of my co-workers and I started talking about reasons why we would leave a job that we love and people that we like working with.

Must-Do Things For a Successful Long Distance Move

by Tazim Damji

I have recent experience with long distance moving, really recent—we just packed all of our belongings in Vancouver for delivery in Calgary this past weekend. I also have a lot of experience with other types of moves—from within the city moves, to moves where you must put everything in storage for 1 year while you live elsewhere. Moving long distance is a particularly grueling way to move. I am here to share with you the unique must-do list for a successful long distance move. Start Planning ...

by Tazim Damji

It's hard to decide sometimes what objects to keep or get rid of. With clothing, I find this an easier decision.

Over the years we've sold or donated hundreds of books. While this is a good way to not hang on to excess books, there are certain drawbacks.

Just the other day we took out a car to try and sell 4 ...

by Tazim Damji

We've set our date for the last days we'll be in this city—somewhere around the 29th of August. That date is coming up soon, and we have a lot to prepare before we leave! How early do you start packing? We don't have an entire house full of stuff, but we do have a fair amount, since we have a lot of hobbies.
