If you are travelling for a long period for work, a sabbatical or a gap year adventure, what arrangements should be made for any belongings that you don’t take with you?
If you live in rented accommodation, the idea of continuing to pay rent solely for storing your things may not be appealing. If you are a homeowner, leaving your possessions in an unoccupied house or relying on a friend’s garage for storage may not be acceptable. One option to fund your travels is to rent out your home, but you will need somewhere to store your possessions whilst you are away. The ideal solution is to use storage facilities to safely house your precious belongings.
When storing items, make sure everything is properly packed and boxes are stacked securely. Mark the contents of each box clearly for easy retrieval when you return. During the packing process, you may come across items that are no longer of use to you. If these are in good condition, consider donating them to friends, family or a charity shop.
If you are not sure about the duration of your trip, opt to use a storage provider that offers the flexibility to easily extend or shorten the storage agreement.
