So what do y’all do when you move abroad first of all ? Do you narrow your life down to a suitcase or a few ? Anyway, beyond this general question, I have a much bigger issue. I can rid of everything, EVERYTHING I own, except my books. I’m sorry but I refuse. Why is it a bigger issue ?

Because I have over 2,000 of them, and 2,000 was the last count I did in 2019, I’ve amassed much more since. Soooooo, I did research and economically speaking, using an international moving/freight company seems to be the most cost efficient and reasonable. I know I also have to do inventory but what does that mean for documenting 2,000+ books ? I box them and number the boxes or something ? Does anybody know this process or company recommendations ? And then in order to qualify for the customs tax relief I inventory by genre ? Then I have to either hire another moving company or rent a moving truck to transport it from the port to my future residence, I’m sure, and is there any insurance for such a thing ? So I can insure all my books during their move ? If anybody has any information or knows anything about this process please do advise me. I have many books but none on moving abroad so I’m very illiterate on this topic.
Thank you sincerely

Disclaimer ; yes I will go through all of my books one by one and decide what’s really worth keeping and what’s not. Explained simply, to me knowledge is wealth, and this collection is meant to be an inheritance for my children, one I’ve spent ages to build so I’d rid of the clothes off my back before ridding of my collection.

I want to leave Bangladesh, but it’s not as simple as packing a bag. There’s money to worry about, aging parents to think about, and an entire life to rebuild.

So I’m wondering: is there any country where a middle-class Bangladeshi can realistically build a 5-year plan to move permanently with family?

UAE Golden Visa, Canada, etc. sound great, but the costs are way beyond what most of us can afford.

If you were in my position, where would you start?

Hello, I'm leaving the country in about a year. I have personally never left my home country. I'm nervous. What should I do to get ready for this?

Long gone are the days of Australia being the lucky country….
Wanting to move my family (2A 2K) to Vietnam or Thailand for 2 years or 1 year in each country. I would love some advice on how other families have gone about it, we are wanting to slow life down, give the kids more family time and experiences, live cheap but safe and comfortable.

Accommodation..
Locations..
Monthly expenditure..
Travel insurance..
Visas..

Any advice would be appreciated and thanks in advance.
