Human nature being what it is, most people decide that “the best time to move” is shortly after they make their decision to move. But that’s rarely true. In fact, waiting is often a wise move, and there are often a whole host of reasons to delay a bit. And the biggest reason of all—the one that matters the most to the largest number of people—is cost. So if you’re already boxing up your grandmot ..read more

Moving to Canada? Here are Five Great Landing Spots It’s become a bit of a running joke for politically-minded celebrities in the US to say that they’re going to move to Canada if things don’t go their way politically.

Despite the challenge, however, taking some time t ..read more

The 5 Best Places to Live if You’re Thinking of Moving to Australia or New Zealand The Land(s) Down Under For many, mixing Australia and New Zealand together is—or at least should be—heresy. After all, they’re different countries with different histories and, even more to the point, they’re roughly 2500 miles apart—a distance amounting to one-tenth of the total circumference of the Earth! But for most of the world, Australia and New Zealand are the countries “down under”; the countries positioned at the very edge of the South Pacific; and countries light years removed, distance-wise, from the ..read more

Top Five Destinations if You’re Thinking of Relocating to the Southern United States – Exploring the Southern Skies The Great Migrations Since the end of the American Civil War, the movement of people between the southern states of the United States and the rest of the country has been mostly one way—from the rural South to the more industrial (and prosperous) North, Northeast, and West Coast.

White Southerners migrated in enormous numbers as well—and ..read more

What Exactly is Corporate Relocation? Corporate relocation can be a confusing subject.
