The Realistic Blueprint

Once you have made the solid choice to move, it is time to put a plan in place. I've had so many factors to figure out. Because I already qualified for British citizenship, I had already navigated the biggest hurdle.Next I contemplated the appropriate amount of money I should save, what to do with my belongings and car,what to take, where to live in the U.K, and when to tentatively move. To assist with costs I began driving Uber in which I saved an fixed amount everyday. I figured the best time to be in a new place would be the spring because of the upcoming summer. So my tentative move date is March of 2016 (hopefully accomplished by the time you are reading this!)
Update: Jan 2017.... Plans were postponed until August 2017 due to a host of issues I had to navigate through.. First of all the sudden closing of my school in the fall of 2016. The loss of my primary job and car problems. However, this is a testament to resilience and my burning desire to see what it is really going to be like. I continued to wrestle with the choice, until the beginning of March 2017. I took a wonderful and insightful trip to Cancun with a close friend. It was then that I set the date and reconfigured my plan. I bought my plane ticket in April and booked an airbnb. I originally wanted to reside in the U.K for a least 6 months, but resolved on 4 months instead. I arrived August 1st 2018 and haven't looked back.
