Moving Countries 101

Whether you’re moving for work, love, or lifestyle, one truth remains: relocating is about more than the destination. Host Clare Kay leads you on a quest to create a life abroad: the paradox of arriving in a new destination, yet discovering the real journey is the ongoing experience of making another country home.


Clare is your essential guide to navigating the complexities of moving countries and realising the benefits of a new lifestyle. Drawing on her extensive international experience, Clare helps you uncover both the dreams and the realities of relocation, from the logistics of settling in to the emotional and cultural shifts that shape daily life.


Through authentic guest stories and Clare’s solo observations, you’ll gain practical guidance and fresh perspectives to prepare you mentally and emotionally for life abroad. You’ll hear from global movers who have relocated for jobs, relationships, family, or lifestyle, and learn how they handled the challenges and opened up to the opportunities.


Their stories illustrate how moving unsettles us emotionally, physically, culturally, and spiritually, but each conversation shows how moving countries provokes growth, awareness, and possibilities.


🎧 Tune in for revealing insights, heartfelt reflections, and uplifting moments that inspire confidence, connection, and clarity as you create a fulfilling life abroad.

How To Emotionally and Physically Prepare For Moving Countries

How To Emotionally and Physically Prepare For Moving Countries

 

In this solo episode, Clare once again takes a look at a practical aspect of moving abroad, which an awful lot of people fail to pay enough attention to. She explains why what you take with you and how you get it there is very important. 

 

We all have things that we would struggle to live without. For some it is a treasured possession that has great sentimental value and for others it is a person or pet. Still, others have activities and hobbies that make a huge difference when it comes to physical, emotional or mental wellbeing. Clare has moved abroad multiple times, so the advice and strategies she provides to tackle the task of packing and leaving some things behind really do work.


KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • We all have things we would struggle to live without. Finding a way to take them with you or leave them behind on your terms can play a big role in how well you settle in a new country.
  • If an item is particularly precious to you, pack it in a way that ensures it won´t be broken and can easily be accessed upon your arrival.
  • If you want to continue to pursue a hobby or activity while you are living abroad, work out how you are going to do that before you actually move.
  • Sometimes continuing to pursue your interests won´t be possible. In that case, consider what you might be able to do instead.
  • Before you start to pack, prepare yourself emotionally. Organising everything and physically packing will have an impact on you.
  • Getting started can be tough, Clare explains how to overcome this hesitancy.
  • Start in one room, go through each item and ask yourself do I want to take this item? Do I need to take this item? And make two lists.
  • Leaving someone who is very precious to you is hard. Clare shares several things you can do to make it more bearable.


BEST MOMENTS

“What is the one thing that you absolutely do not want to be without? Reflect on that and have that as your starting point.”

“If a hobby is not realistic, consider what you could do in its place that would bring about the same happy vibes.”

“Unprocessed emotions will follow us anywhere.”

“Surrender to expertise.”

“I wasn't needing the things. I needed that emotional journey of having the time to revisit and evoke memories.”
