Today, we’re breaking down the costs associated with a large transcontinental move like ours from the USA to the UK (specifically, in our case, moving from California to Scotland). We give you real numbers from our move in May, 2024, which includes things like the UK VISA, shipping, transportation, and uniform costs, but there’s even more! For reference, we used numbers that were in line for our area, which is a commutable distance just south of Edinburgh, Scotland. If your experience and numbers are vastly different, please share it in the comments so that others can find what they might be looking for. We did countless hours of research in preparation for our move, and YouTube was a HUGE part of that. Finding answers is not always straightforward, so if we can help any of you out, let us know!
