In the days leading up to your move, there are bound to be several to-do lists of things you need to get accomplished. Even though packing up your moving truck can be stressful, there are several things do to in your current location before you move. Before you take off on your new adventure, read the ideas below on things that should be done before you move.
Make a bucket list
Yet another list to add to your endless stack of lists, but at least this one is fun! With all your to‑do lists and moving day checklists, make sure to include a bucket list of things you want to do before you move. Enjoy a meal at all your favorite local restaurants, shop at your favorite boutiques and soak up all the attractions you can in your current city.
Document your move
One of my favorite things about moving are all the memories! You are leaving a place you once called home to start your life in a new city! Take pictures of your old place and document your moving process. Take fun pictures of your friends helping you move and make a scrapbook of your old home to enjoy in your new one! You can even share your moving photos on #uhaulfamous where your picture could end up on a moving truck!
Have a garage sale
Out with the old and in with the new. As you start packing, set aside items you have outgrown or no longer want to bring to your new city. Before a move is the best time to sort through old clothes, books and other items that have accumulated throughout the years. Why not let others enjoy them, lighten your load and hopefully make a little cash? These yard sale boxes can help when sorting your belongings and make it easy to direct people to your sale!
Say “bon voyage!”
Take a break from all that packing and go visit family, friends and coworkers before you leave. It can be hard to make friends in a new city, so keeping in touch with people is important in maintaining long-distance relationships.
The work is done, now have some fun!
You are starting a new adventure, and what better way to start than with a going-away party? Invite friends and family over for one final barbecue before your big move. A party is also a great way to clean out your fridge before you move!
