Have you ever thought how much Your attitude has to do with it?
Having moved often from ono country to the next I found the transitions quite smooth, exciting with an added amount of stress also. The reason for this is, I have moved lock, stock and barrel before, from Scotland to England, England to Australia and back to England then the USA and I knew to do quite a few things ahead of time to make the move easier. There is a lot to think about when you and your family move, some things to consider housing, schools, employment, visas the list can go on and on depending on your circumstances.
One thing I know for sure whch is a great asset and investment is if you have someone ‘in the know’ to help and guide you along. Someone who understands the difference in culture, how to pronounce things, where to go. Where to get the best buys. This will cut down a lot of time, money and stress.
