So you’ve decided to move out of the country.

That’s a pretty big decision. Massive. Astronomical.

It’s not just moving across town or to a different state. It’s moving to a nation where there are new customs, new laws, and new ways of life.

In order to support that one, gigantic decision, there are a lot of little choices you’ll need to make. Most of these will help you determine the perfect final destination for your move. Now, if you already have that move-to destination circled on your map and there’s no wavering from it, by all means, begin your research.

However, if you’re still up in the air on a few places, want guidance selecting a spot that’s right for you, or at the very least would like some help in eliminating possible contenders, there are several key questions you need to answer.

These aren’t the sexiest questions, and often they go under the radar. After all, you’d rather think of life on a beach and securing a new condo. Those are the fun decisions, but there are so many smaller aspects of a possible move you need to consider, otherwise, you’ll set yourself up for failure.
