Here's the interview with James...

1. Plan everything, keep a log of what you're shipping, what you're storing and what you need to do before you leave the country.
2. Ship more than you think you'll need – you can always sell it once you're here!
3. Get bank and insurance references before you leave, you'll need them to open a bank account and get your car insured!
4. Be prepared for an expensive first few months, from rental deposits, cars, utilities. It can really stretch your finances.
5. Keep a blog for the friends and family that you've left behind.
