A big move could be happening for a variety of reasons. You want the move to go as smoothly as possible which will take some detailed planning. You do not want to start this new time in peril due to a lack of planning leading to disaster. Researching your new potential city is very important as it might not live up to your expectations. Visiting a city is far different than living in the same city full-time. A plan should be put into place to help adjust to the new city as well. This could be visiting certain attractions or getting the kids involved in sports or other activities.  The following are options that you should consider when moving across the country. 

A Car Trailer

Driving a moving truck thousands of miles is going to be an exhausting experience. You do not want to have to make this trip multiple times. Car trailers can allow you to hitch your car to the moving truck to eliminate multiple trips. The important thing to remember is not to drive when you are too tired. You do not want to be involved in a serious accident when you are just about to start a new chapter of your life. 

Move For A Few Weeks Then Bring The Rest Of The Family 

Moving for a professional opportunity might require you to make a move quickly. Allowing yourself to get established in a new location before bringing your significant other or children can be important. The stress of a move can lead to tensions running high due to exhaustion and emotions running high. This can be the time to look at apartments or homes to rent. Once the rest of your family arrives, you can start getting into a routine in your new city. 

Rent For A Few Months Before Purchasing

Housing is going to be the first priority although long-term rentals can be very convenient. There are even furnished options so you can keep your furniture/other possessions in storage. Getting a feel for a city is very important before making any decisions that could impact you for years. Find a reputable platform to rent off of as there are so many rental scams that take advantage of people new to a city. 

Ask For Remote Work From Your Current Employer

Moving without a job can add to the stress of an already stressful situation. Asking for remote work can be a great option if you are granted the opportunity to do so. Even if your employer refuses, you will be leaving the job without this option being available. Remote work is so convenient and can allow you to explore your new city by working in various locations with internet access. Moving to a new city with a job can allow you to adjust in a healthier manner. 


Your big move is going to be a time of stress for so many reasons. Change can be difficult for some people to accept but consider this as a new start. You can reinvent yourself in a new city both personally and professionally.
