Episode 252 - How To Figure Out Where To Live and Tips For Moving To A New City or Country

Written By Allison Wetig
 

Allison and Ceara discuss the essential steps to take when considering a move, emphasizing the importance of identifying personal preferences and lifestyle goals. We frequently get asked questions about where to move and how to find the courage to try  a new place, so we decided to dedicate an entire episode to the topic. 

In the catch up segment, Ceara shares about the second half of her Costa Rica work trip. She embraced all the ocean activities like shell hunting, tidepooling, and snorkeling. Allison is 37+ weeks pregnant so she’s in the final preparation stage and is so eager to meet the baby. Her and Clay are leaning into baby moon activities like attending a concert in Amsterdam of one of their favorite artists and going on a road-trip to Gouda for the famous cheese market.

  • Start decluttering and getting rid of things at least 1-2 months early.

  • Ensure you’re not running away but instead seeking opportunities.

  • Prepare a substantial financial safety net as there will be unexpected costs.
