Thank you for a well-written way to accomplish this goal. This isn't a bunch of fluff and idealism, this is real information that will be very helpful to someone like myself who wants to relocate but doesn't have the experience doing such a thing. For me, the goal is real and necessary, but the process itself is massively complicated.
Possibly the greatest tip is the last one: When you think you're ready, just do it. Uncertainty and fear kills dreams, we all can be paralyzed by that fear but we don't have to be. Personally, I have made leaps of faith before and they scared me spitless in the initial stages, but I pushed through the fear and came out stronger on the other side.
