Hi Melanie,
Glad everything went well with your trip. All the best and prayers are with you as you settle down. Never moved overseas, but heading to the west next month by train and back by car.

Hi Anj,
You are definitely the expert in moving!!! Thank you for your great tips. I particularly like your comment on taking time to make friends, I think that is so important in helping you settle into a new home.

Hi wendee,
It’s really great to hear from you! We are starting to get things sorted back home, but I’ll email you soon with all the details. I hope you and Simon are doing well.

Hi,
I have enjoyed your website. Yeah I have moved from India to the middle east and then to Canada. I have lived in Vancouver, BC for years and I am moving to Australia soon.
I would recommend these things:
Make a list and keep marking these off when you do them so that you can look back and see all that you have accomplished.
Give yourself lots of grace
Take time to chill with your friends first and make new ones too.
Blessings!

Hey Cathy,
Oh yeah, I suppose my about page doesn’t really say that! I’ll have to update it again. Anyway, thanks for your tips, taking a break to smell the roses is a good one!

Hi Jessica,
Yes, I know what you mean about purging junk!! We looked at a house yesterday, so I think we will be moving in there soon. I might do a little video or some pics of the new place later.

Best of luck with the move, Mel. Living somewhere else is always a challenge, but I find its a wonderful way to purge junk, meet new people and appreciate new surroundings. You should post some pics of your new home! curiousjessica’s last blog post..What I’m grateful for.

WOW Mel, I hadn’t realised you were even a short-termer in Aussie – you About Mel info doesn’t say that! I hadn’t really even wondered ‘who you were’ took you at face value because I enjoy your website.

Good Luck on your return to your homeland. I guess that even though you’ve probably kept in touch with Ireland you will find some huge changes in various areas.

I think the biggest suggestion I could make is: when the going gets a bit tuff, take time out to smell the roses and walk miles, breathe properly.

Look forward to hearing little tidbits about the health your homeland people, along with any new ideas that have put in place since you left. i.e. is the place greener, more people outdoors etc…
