The joy of moving abroad naturally comes
with a few challenges. However, if you approach them in the right way, they can
become enjoyable and therapeutic – even helping you to mentally prepare for the
next stage of your life.
One of these serious challenges is
downsizing your life before you leave your home country. To do this requires
you to be strict on yourself and keep the end goal in mind. After all, you
won’t be able to take everything with you when you embark on your new journey.
And if you take too much, you will end up paying international shipping
companies a fortune when moving overseas!
Sell
your old items
To add a little excitement into the
process, you can choose to sell some of your unused and old items to new
owners. As well as giving them a new home, you can make a bit of money to help
you with the relocation costs.
There are numerous ways to sell items which
range from traditional car boot sales to online apps and social media. However
you do it, make sure you have an idea about the lowest prices you want to sell
each item for. This will make the negotiation process much easier. If you are
selling on eBay or another application, be sure to add a decent postage charge,
otherwise you may end up not making any profit on your sold items.
Give
items to charity
Some items are simply not worth selling.
Or, if you are feeling generous, you may want to give valuable items to your
favourite charities. This way, you can get rid of larger volumes of items with
significant ease. Many high-street charities will take bags of clothes,
furniture or miscellaneous items to be organised and sold to customers – with
the profits going to whatever cause they represent.
