Hi everyone. Am looking to relocate to Europe with my partner and I have a feeling we’re not seeing some of the expected costs and procedures currently.

We’ll be taking some furniture with us along with pets. From what I can gather we need to be considering the following:

Flights - $3000 (1500 each) Shipping container 20ft - $4500 3x cat relocation - $6500 Some new clothes while we wait for the container - $3000 Unplanned incidentals - $3000 Total $20K AUD

Costs like temporary accommodation when we land im looking as a separate element same as transport (bus/train/etc) and I’m leaving food out of this currently too.

Basically we’re trying to work out the cost of the physical move itself and not the cost of living when we arrive at our destination.

Are there any important things that we should be factoring into our budget for this move that we’re currently overlooking?

    Find an airline that allows 2 carry ons each, put some clothes in them, enough that you don’t have to buy any, save money

      I think we need some cold weather gear which we don’t currently have. Bringing extra checked luggage with clothes is a solid idea 👍🏽
