Asking For A Friend: How Do I Move My Life Somewhere New?

Welcome back to our AMA episode series, Asking For A Friend, where we tackle your biggest questions and deep dive into our own personal experiences and expertise.

So many of us have daydreamed about moving somewhere new. And since the pandemic opened the doors to remote work and afforded us new freedoms in work and life, it's no wonder that people are considering making that leap. But whether you’re thinking of moving to a new city, a different state/province, or a whole new country, there’s a lot to consider. Luckily, Cailyn is our very own in-house expert on this, as she just uprooted from Toronto to Vancouver for a fresh start on the West coast.

From deciding where and when to go, to the emotional impacts and logistical surprises, we’re grilling Cailyn on what it’s like to move somewhere new so you have the full scoop before taking off. 

Tune in as we chat about:

• Deciding where you should go and if you’re *actually* ready to move
• Honouring your values and hobbies wherever you go
• Making sure you’re financially prepared
• The logistics of moving and setting up your new life
• Tips for packing and making the move easier
• Emotionally preparing for a big change 
• Why TikTok and IG are the best travel guides
• The importance of saying yes to new experiences and people

If you have any burning questions and want to get us in the hot seat, DM or email us your Qs at [email protected] and we’ll dive into them in an upcoming tell-all.
