Moving house is often considered to be one of the least “comfortable” life milestones we can experience, because while it’s a new chapter and an exciting new stage of your life, it takes great effort to deal with this approach in the best way. Uprooting the orbit of our lives and placing them elsewhere, in a new home, in a new location, with new people surrounding us can take a lot of mental and physical work to achieve, even if things go relatively smoothly.


For this reason, the idea itself might exhaust you before you even get started. But is it possible to curate this energy a little despite all of the intensive work it requires? Could it be that you don’t have to feel 110% stressed 150% of the time? 


In this post, we’ll discuss a few measures you can use so that the entire endeavor feels a little more comfortable to deal with. We hope that with this in mind, you’ll be much more able to foster a satisfied outcome:


Personal Luggage Planning


Sure, you’ll place most of your belongings with the cross country moving company most suited to your needs, but it’s important to make sure your personal luggage is well planned for. Purchasing new suitcases suitable for travel and a small trailer or top box for your vehicle can help you avoid stuffing your car to the brim with your belongings, making the driving experience safer and more comfortable no matter how many miles you have to drive.


Vehicle Servicing, Comforts, & Taking Turns


It’s important to make sure your vehicle is fully serviced before you set off, from ensuring the tyres are properly pressurized, to ensuring the oil check is performed, and even a full vehicle inspection is carried out weeks before. You may also decide to purchase comforts, like a travel pillow you can rest on comfortably. Determining who will drive in fair turns will allow you and your partner to share the driving load, ensuring the other can catch up on sleep or get th rest they need. This makes long-haul journeys more comfortable, but also allows you improved safety on the road. That can make all the difference.


Good Nutrition & Hydration


Make sure you eat well and drink plenty of water on your travels. It’s easy to ignore this and simply pull into a range of junk food stops on the way, which isn’t necessarily the most terrible idea, but it can prevent you from feeling great and energetic instead of tired and gluttonous - this is especially important when driving a long way. If you check our website, you’ll find a range of amazing recipes you can bring with you on the way, or inspiration for eating out. Snacks that bring with them thorough nutrition, like nuts, sunflower seeds, and good juices can make a big difference, too. This way, you can cope with the long travel without feeling overly mental or physically exhausted.


With this advice, we hope you can stay reasonably comfortable even while moving long distance.
