When my husband told me we were moving to South Africa in two short months I panicked. But that was nothing to how I reacted when he told me he was leaving in three days and that I would have to arrange the move! The company he works for was transferring him to head up its division there. Where would I start? Would I move everything? Only some things? What about our dog? Due to health concerns, I couldn't be running around all over the place to get information, visit international mo... more...

Finally, the time had come to retire and I was left with the big question: Did I want to live out my days in the land I'd come to love this past twenty years or did I want to return to the US of A, my birth place and home of my remaining family? After months of sleepless nights, soul searching and emails back and forth to my daughter, I had finally decided to move back to my original home. Having moved overseas twenty years ago you would think I'd have found it an easy task. But... more...

Did you know that you can get free moving quotes just by Googling international moving company on the Internet? That's just what I did when I received confirmation from my company that I would be transferring to India indefinitely. Wow! I could hardly believe that within two short months I would be living in a totally different culture, an ocean away. I had so many questions! But first things first. I filled in a form at the international moving company site with my home state and de... more...

Well, guess I need to bite the bullet and call an international moving company. Don't know which one, maybe I should Google it. I still can't believe I have to leave the home I've always known to go live somewhere I've never been in the USA. How can I leave South Africa, the adventure capital of the world where natural beauty and wildlife abound? Where one can follow the African drum and gumboot beat; the bright sun, stars and city streets; the friendly people, rich cu... more...

I am planning to go on a driving tour of Europe next summer, and would like to bring my car. My intention is to send the car ahead via overseas shipping, fly out from Los Angeles, and pick up the car at the port of the first country where I intend to start my vacation. Right now I still don't know my exact itinerary, but I do know that I will be traveling to Italy, France, Germany, and Switzerland. Is this possible? What are the things I should know about overseas shipping of vehicle... more...

My uncle was young then, but this is my favorite story of his. At 19, shortly after graduating from high school, he went into the Navy and was discovered to be adept at languages. They trained him (being smack in the middle of the Cold War) in Russian, which he spoke fluently for a long time. Then he became the button man. That was his name for it. Quickly elevated to G4 or G3 status and assigned to military intelligence, he carried a bag around and was always no further than 10 feet be... more...

I own a call center in Utah. I have just finalized negotiations with a new partner in the Philippines and will be moving my operations to that country. I would like to ship my equipment, which includes computers, servers, routers, headsets, and other things used in my business. I would also like to bring my car, if that is possible, as I expect to stay in the country for a long time. Could you tell me what I need to do to arrange for overseas shipping of my car and equipment to the Phili... more...

My kids call us rolling stones. I've been called worse and this brings a smile to my face, simply because of the source. Sure, we like to roll around, seeing various spots and places and experiencing new cultures. Why not? We're retired, in our 60's, experiencing reasonably good health, and have set aside enough to allow us the freedom to travel and live all over the world. I call us movers and shakers. We've been quartered in Japan for the last few years, speci... more...

I am Romanian, born and raised. I was brought up in Constanta, on the shores of the Black Sea. Now, I must move to the USA. I have never been out of my country and I am afraid to go. Romania is all I know. My wife is American. We met and fell in love when she was a tourist here three years ago. She received terrible news that her parents were both killed in an accident only one month ago and now she says we must move to Florida to take care of her youngest sister. She is only sixteen. ... more...

The United States and its immediate neighbor to the north have always had an open border policy which made it possible to travel back and forth between the two countries with just a driver's license. After 9/11 and the ratification of the Patriot Act this all changed. Crossing the border now into Canada requires a passport and moving to Canada has become more complicated. Heightened security in the United States has caused a ripple effect up north that makes immigration and establish... more...

I thought she was nuts. A friend of mine connected online with a guy in Spain and had decided to marry him and move there; all in the space of about two months. She had met him exactly twice; once when he came here for three days and once when she went there for a week. Who does stuff like that?? But there was no talking her out of it. She was in love and she couldn't believe I didn't want to see her happy and blah, blah, blah. Anyway, it was done. She was packing and her... more...

It was my dream. To live and work, short-term, in a foreign country. I had wanted to try this for a long time and now, immediately after graduation from college, seemed like the time. When better to leave the country than when you owe vast sums? The question was how to achieve it. First, get a position somewhere overseas. Then move there and work for a while, hopefully accumulating new language skills and a few mementos along the way. I envisioned Japanese fans and kimonos, German stei... more...

My co-workers and colleagues were so sweet. They gave me parting gifts and hugs and wished me well in my travels. I could tell what they were feeling: envy so green that they could hardly remain upright. I was shipping myself to Hawaii from Europe and was so excited I could hardly stand myself. I was smug enough to be a royal pain the last couple of weeks, so I couldn't really blame them. They were staying behind in the cold and wet; I was moving out into the sunshine. There... more...

Living on an island is living on an island, regardless of size, right? Australia may be a continent and much larger than Hawaii, but it's still an island so life wouldn't change for me that much, would it? My brother said that I was trading Classic Coke for New Coke. I retorted that I was moving my life to Hawaii and that Australia wasn't such hot stuff. We had had the same argument daily, pretty much, since he had found out my plan to leave my arid part of Down Under ... more...
