Moving to a new place is an adventure. Some may feel excited about it, while some may not. To release some anxiety and stress about moving, you should know more about it. Not many people have sound knowledge of moving since it is not a frequent activity that everyone enjoys. However, you would wish to know a bit more about it when it comes to you. Here is the common moving terminology you better know before moving. 

Expat 

An expat is a person temporarily or permanently residing in a country other than that of their citizenship. For example, a British living in Hong Kong is an expat.

Moving 

The word, moving, expresses the idea of transporting one’s belongings from one dwelling to another. It can also refer to a person’s move from one place to another.

Instead of just moving the belongings, the relocation companies provide services like school search for kids and orientation to help them settle in a new place. In general, relocation services are mainly targeted at multinational companies, helping them ensure the successful transfer of thousands of employees across the globe. In today’s global economy, the need for international workers seems never-ending, even during a recession.
