1.    Culture is obviously the first thing that springs to mind. Think of the difference between Edinburgh and Devon, Liverpool and Oxford, Rowen (a tiny village in North Wales) and London! Experiencing different culture can open your eyes to the world in a unique way.

2.    Expanding your career horizons. Experiencing different cultures isn’t just for students and the super-rich. With a little planning and dedication it’s possible for pretty much anyone to find a job abroad. It may even be a step down the career ladder, but in terms of adding interest to your CV, living abroad depicts a superb strength of character.

3.    The thrill of the unknown. Call it “fear” if you like. The thrill/fear of relocating to Germany etc. is something that can be incredibly beneficial in life. Not everyone is OK with getting out of their comfort zone, but even something like a few months relocating to Belgium can have an astounding effect on confidence and mindset.

4.    Culinary exploration. Maybe you’re already a well-fed food aficionado, but if you’re more the pie ‘n’ chips type, living another culinary lifestyle can be a wonderful adventure!

5.    Appreciating home. Sure, it rains a lot in the UK and our sports teams are frequently embarrassed, but true appreciation for all things British is certainly a wonderful side to living abroad. You’ll be surprised what you miss most!

Here are a few tips we’ve picked up over the years for relocating to Amsterdam, rural Spain or a host of other fantastic European destinations.

• Personal accountability is a huge part of studying abroad. Look into things like living costs, set a weekly budget, find out if your U.K bank card will work in an emergency, can a non-resident buy a mobile phone? Etc. Most foreign study positions are well-informed and organised, but make sure you understand all the ins and outs involved as much as possible. Don’t wait around for someone else to hand you a “How To” guide!

• Safety is obviously important. Each place holds different challenges, for example, moving to rural Italy will likely be a much slower pace than relocating to Paris. Seek advice from past residents or even local police websites.

• Keep records; not the boring kind like tax returns, but fun things like photos and journals! They’ll prove invaluable later on.

• Learn at least a little of the language. Aside from simply being good manners, knowing the basics can help you feel more ingratiated in the area.

Relocating to France is not an easy task, however. While it may be just across the water, there is still a lot to organise and the French administration system is notoriously difficult even when fluent in the language. You should never decide to relocate to another country without first doing some research. Just because you enjoy going on holiday there does not mean that you will have the same great experience living there.

If you have done your research and decide that moving is definitely for you, then we can help organise your furniture removals to France and take some of the hassle out of the experience of moving. Once considered an expensive country, the UK is now actually a lot cheaper for buying furniture and other belongings than a lot of the countries on the continent, so organising a furniture removal will work out much cheaper than buying new items when you get there. It also means that you can feel more comfortable in your surroundings by having familiar things around you. At Europe Remove, we aim to make the process of moving as easy as possible, and deliver your furniture on the date or dates you specify.

As a country, Belgium is one of the most children friendly, welcoming children from other countries into their culture and lifestyle. It is true that by relocating to Belgium, you are giving your children access to an exceptional quality of education, but you need to find one that suits a child’s individual needs. Researching and discussing schools before hand will help greatly.

The language barrier in Belgian schools can be determined by 3 languages; Dutch, German or French. It is worth looking into the prerequisites of these languages for your child to fully benefit. Parents are also expected to be more actively involved in educating their children in Belgium which may make the transition easier.

Involve your children with all aspects of the move and they will become familiar and accustomed to the idea easier. Removals to Belgium are easy to organise and children will be more inclined to accommodate the idea of moving if they have control over what they take. Allow them to help pack and try to make it as fun and exciting as possible.

If you are renovating your property, then no doubt you won’t want to receive all your furniture at the same time as you’ll have nowhere to put it. When you’re relocating to Germany, you don’t want to have to be back and forth in a rented vehicle to pick up items of furniture as you go, which is why we can help you move in stages. We will store your possessions and deliver them to you on the dates you specify, so you can move in to your new home over a gradual period of time rather than trying to deal with everything at once. With two weeks free storage, you needn’t feel like you need to rush the process.

If you’re moving to Berlin, it’s even easier because we carry out weekly trips to this and many other cities around Europe, thereby making it possible to give you even cheaper prices. Call or email us now and we’ll give you a quote, or you can use our online free quote service if you prefer.

There are many reasons why immigrating to Switzerland, or more precisely moving to Zurich, its capital, is so popular. Firstly, Switzerland is renowned for its breathtaking scenery as it is home to the beautiful snow capped Swiss Alps, one of the most famous of all mountain ranges. Even the city streets and architecture are stunning to behold. Even if you do fancy a change of scenery, Switzerland is relatively small making a trip into other European countries only a short journey. Lifestyle is considered of a higher standard with a stable currency and higher salaries.

The tax system often puts people off relocating to Switzerland as taxes are higher than some other countries but this additional expense can be viewed as an investment. You reap the reward from these higher taxes with better public services, an excellent standard of education and a well maintained environment. The healthcare in Switzerland is free to all citizens for life. This quality level of health care makes Switzerland’s statistics for illness and mortality relatively low. It is a country offering a high standard of living with many more benefits to discover.

Relocating to France?
Thankfully, the proximity of the Continent means you can easily start a new life in Europe yet still take all of your old belongings with you. In fact, furniture removals to France, Germany and indeed most of Western Europe can not only work out to be a lot cheaper than buying new when you get there, they can also help you to feel more at home, as they can provide a certain degree of familiarity to keep you company while you adjust to your new surroundings.

So, if you are thinking of moving to France, relocating to Italy or getting away to Spain when you retire, make us here at Europe Remove your first port of call.

Paris
Paris is often lauded as the greatest capital city in the world, never mind Europe. With incredible heritage, jaw-dropping monuments, outrageous nightlife, unrivalled cuisine and of course that famous , “je ne sais quoi”, the City of Lights is one capital that really does live up to its huge billing. Paris is without doubt one of Europe’s most vibrant, exciting and beautiful cities.

Amsterdam
Although significantly smaller than most other major European capitals, Amsterdam punches well above its weight. It is a city that is rightfully proud of its progressive social attitudes and this can be clearly seen with the ‘anything goes’ attitude that comes alive practically every single night. Indeed, it is often claimed that Amsterdam is “the most laid-back capital city in the world” – moving to Holland will let you see just how true that statement is for yourself.

Berlin
Berlin has a rich, recent and incredibly relevant cultural heritage and stands proudly at the geographical centre of Europe. Berlin’s dichotomy makes it an incredibly engaging place to live, being at the same time safe and edgy; sensible and naughty. Truly; few cities can match Berlin’s enigmatic qualities.

No matter if you’re moving to Berlin, Paris or Amsterdam; make us here at Europe Remove your first port of call.
