On the JJ Barnes Blog, as a digital nomad, I’ve always dreamed of traveling the world and working as I go, so today I’m sharing four tips to get you started if you’re considering moving abroad.

If you’ve made the amazing decision to move abroad, then congratulations, because your life is about to change in a big way. It’s a big change, but it’s a change that is going to be fantastic for your future. You get a chance to be somewhere new, learning a new culture, learning a possible new language and trying a new culture. 

The problem? Moving in general is a lot of planning, but you can bet that going abroad will take a lot more work. Hiring international movers to go through hours of paperwork, pulling visas and working together. You need to integrate into a new country and that list of planning is going to go on and on. So let’s take a look at some of the biggest tips that you need for moving abroad.

Top Tips For Moving Abroad

1. Start the process early.

When it comes to your belongings, you need to look at selling, donating or shipping and this is going to be the hardest decision that you make. Moving abroad, even if it’s temporary, still requires you to go through everything that you own and declutter and thin it all out.

Making a list of the items you want to donate, sell, or take with you is important for you to be able to get there and feel settled. You don’t want to leave anything behind and you can use storage containers for your furniture and appliances if you are planning to come back after a few months or years.

If you’re just going one way and not planning on coming back again, sell everything and start anew with that cash you bring with you.

2. Take a look at the language.

If you’re moving to an English speaking country, you might be just fine not having to worry about a language to learn. But if you’re moving somewhere that speaks a different language, you need to assimilate. It’s not always easy, but knowing the language can make the transition much easier, and those first days in a new country will be more manageable as a result.

Taking a beginner’s course in some of the most important sentences and watching TV in the language that you want to move to can really be helpful.

3. Go through your document list.

It’s not enough to just have your passport and visa. You need to think about your birth and marriage certificates, medical reports, proof of no criminal records, university diplomas, and more. This is just a small list of the documentation that you might need for your new country, but we can’t give you an exact list because we don’t know where you’re going.

Many personal documents or copies of personal documents as you can before you go so that you feel more prepared when you land.

4. Know where to find help.

It’s important that you get the right help when you move to a new country, so you need to know where your embassy is and know how to contact the emergency services. This is really going to make a big difference in getting started in a new place.

Conclusion 

Embracing the digital nomad lifestyle can be an incredibly rewarding experience, filled with adventure and personal growth. By carefully planning, building a strong foundation, and embracing the unexpected, you can turn your travel dreams into reality. Now go out there, explore the world, and work from anywhere!
