Globetrotting Has Rules
Numerous acquaintances of mine have vintage clothing or antique collections of some sort. A few of them have quite vast collections. Occasionally it happens that someone is tapped for a job overseas for a little while. I always wondered if they put their collection in storage and just went over with their toothbrush until they checked things out and decided if they actually wanted to stay for awhile. Another option would be to sell it off. On the contrary, I found that people had brought a substantial bit of their collection with them. Of course, they have the daunting task of also bringing it back when the job was complete.
I guess there are some pretty slick international moving companies that can make the whole thing happen. From the size of some collections, I can imagine that the price would be steep. The website, Internationalmovers.com, has some important things to consider, including rules on having to have relocated before importing your items depending on the country. In fact, I know that in Australia, you are required to present funds proving you have the funds for your return trip and to complete your time there as they have had so many problems with people just deciding to go to Australia and see where adventure takes them (and often have to panhandle).
As for me, if a job opportunity came along, maybe I would consider selling a few things if I were to find myself across the country, but I wouldn’t go anywhere besides the good old U.S.A.
