Moving House

Hi guys,

This is going to sound a bit complicated but please help me to find a solution.

I’m moving house because at the moment we are renting and the landlord is about to sell the house and also, I will be moving closer to my University as well. I’m moving soon within 2 months and I need to some help and good tips because I’m originally from Australia but I am studying in L.A. I need to pack things so my parents can take it back with them and things that I will still keep in L.A. Since I am not from L.A. there is no guarantee that I will be staying here for a long term so it would be better to bring most of the stuff back home. But, my problem is that I know I have to do labels and all that sort of things but I don’t know where to even start packing. And, I don’t know what to send home and what to keep because I want all my things here with me and I consider them important. I’ve been here for 5 years so there is a lot of things but I can’t keep them all.
Thank you very much!

Hummmm…… let me think……..

Well, since you still have two months. You could get 2 big boxes, 1 for the things you wish to bring back to Australia and 1 for the things that you cannot leave without of and you will keep them in L.A. You can start packing by doing that. Then, when is 3 weeks left, you go through these two boxes again and try to bring half of the things from one box ( the L.A. one ) then put it on the AUS box. So that you won’t be carrying unnecessary things with you all the time. You could also get another box which you could put all your things that you wish to throw away and give them to Salvation Army.

I hope this will help you and good luck!
