The books 📚 I packed for our family holiday🏞🏙:
- A Man Called Ove (because Sweden 🇸🇪)
-The Bear 🐻 and the Nightingale (because Russia)
-The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry (because traveling 🧳)
-How to be both (just because)
I also have a few other books on my kindle which I haven‘t read it yet, so I should be safe 👌.

Happy reading!
1. I've moved exactly 20 times.
2. My furthest move was 4,000 miles from Boston to Lucca, Italy.
3. I had 16 boxes of books, plus a stack I put in suitcases.
4. I now have a home & it survived Hurricane Harvey, so I hope to stay put for a while.
5. Yay. I suggest packing the boxes yourself & marking every box with a description of what is in it. Then have movers come to do the actual hauling.

I just moved about 6 weeks ago, so this is fun!! 1) 3 times, this last time we had lived at the place 35 years . 2) From the far West Side of Chicago to the far south east side of Chicago. 3) Maybe about 15 or close to 20, including games and old notebooks and journals 4) I thought the last place was my forever home, lol, we only have a year lease at this place, but hopefully we can stay a lot longer!! 5) Boyfriend rented a UHaul he hurt his back!
1. 5 times as an adult
2. 375mi
3. Idk.. 15
4. Forever home 🏡
5. Nay. I wouldn‘t trust movers not to cause damage
#packingdistraction @JoScho
1. Four
2. 31 miles (Closest move was one floor up in the same apartment building!)
3. When we moved last year, I shuttled books in a large box on a cart on about a dozen or more trips up to our current apartment. Packing and then unpacking books within a ten minute span is the pits.
4. Probably will look to buy a condo or house in the next couple of years. 🤞🏻
5. Never had movers but will probably invest in some for the next one. 🤑
#packingdistraction
I want so badly to move right now that I'm even almost envious of your packing. Almost. 😉
1. 6 times as a kid, twice as an adult
2. 2000 miles
3. Last time I moved, there were something like 52 boxes
4. Moving again, I hope. The house we're in atm doesn't work for our family at all.
5. Heck YES.
1. 9 as an adult.
2. From Jackson, MS to SLC, UT
3. 10?
4. I really hate moving so I‘d like to stay where I am for a long time. However, if I had the chance to move to the country and not have to commute downtown, I‘d consider moving again.
5. Yay! I‘ve never don‘t it but I‘d love to!
@JoScho
@JoScho #packingdistraction - I feel your pain. We moved last summer. 😬
1. I never moved as a kid, but my husband and I have moved 8 times in 16 years. All were across several states except the last one which was just 3 miles. 😆
2. SLC to Nashville (1300mi)
3. 20ish
4. We‘re tired of moving, but who knows?! We‘re open to new experiences.
5. YES
1). As an adult: 6 times
2). Physically: Sydney to Shanghai. Metaphysically: Shanghai to Mumbai.
3). Boxes? Not sure but could only move 200 Books to Shanghai. I‘ve gone a tad nuts here which will be interesting for our next move!
4). Yep, at least two more moves in my near-ish future and they‘ll both be inter-country moves.
5). OH. HELL. YES. Also movers who pack for you (& are paid for by someone else. Gotta be an upside to this expat gig!)
