Share Your Expat Move Story

How It Works

1. Fill in the short form about your move (from/to, why, planning, moving day, arrival, tips).
2. We edit your answers into a story (clear structure, same meaning, no added facts).
3. Optional translation to help more readers from different countries.
4. You review the draft before anything is published.
5. You approve the final version (request changes anytime!).
6. We publish + send your £20 Amazon gift card after it’s live.
7. Optional: share it with friends/family to grow the reach of your experience and help more people.

Why Your Experience Matters

International moves can feel overwhelming, especially when you don’t know what’s “normal” and what’s a red flag. Sharing your experience helps other people set realistic expectations and make better decisions before they commit time, money, and energy.

• Help future movers avoid surprises: Your story can highlight the things people often underestimate—timelines, paperwork, hidden costs, and the emotional side of moving—so others can plan with fewer last-minute shocks.
• Turn your lessons into something others can use: What you learned the hard way becomes practical guidance: what to ask, what to prepare earlier, what to keep close, and what you’d do differently next time.
• Receive a £20 Amazon gift card as a thank-you: Once your story is published, we’ll send you a £20 Amazon gift card for your preferred Amazon domain.
• Get a polished blog post without having to write one: You answer the questions in your own words. We’ll edit your responses into a clear, first-person story that’s easy to read and scan, and you’ll review and approve the final draft before anything goes live.

The Questions We Will Ask

You don’t need to write a “perfect” blog post. You’ll just answer a few guided questions about your move, and we’ll shape your answers into a clear, first-person story that’s easy for others to learn from. These are some of the topics that our audience finds valuable and which we will ask about in the form.

How you chose your mover

• Where you looked for options and how you narrowed it down
• What you compared (price, timing, insurance, reviews, communication)
• The deciding factor that made you feel confident booking

What pickup and delivery were really like

• What loading day was like in your origin city (organisation, professionalism, overall smoothness)
• How delivery and unloading went when your shipment arrived
• Whether the mover was punctual for pickup and delivery, and how delays (if any) were handled

How your belongings were handled

• Whether everything arrived in good condition
• If anything was damaged, what happened next and how the company responded
• What you’d do differently next time to reduce risk

Communication and reliability

• How clear and responsive communication was throughout the move
• Whether there were any language or coordination issues, and how they affected the experience
• What felt reliable, and what caused stress or uncertainty

The final cost and your advice for others

• Whether the final price matched your expectations and the original quote
• Any surprise fees or cost changes, and what caused them
• Your top 3–5 tips for someone planning a similar move

What Is the Difference Between a Review and An Expat Blog?

Both formats come from real people who’ve moved, but they’re written for different reasons—and they help future movers in different ways.

A mover review is about one company’s service

• A review is focused on your experience with a specific moving company and how they performed.
• It’s mainly about the service: communication, punctuality, handling of belongings, value for money, and problem resolution
• It’s typically short and structured, often with character limits and fixed rating-style questions
• It’s most useful when someone is deciding between movers and wants a quick signal of quality

An expat experience blog is about your move as a whole

• An expat blog is your chance to share the full story of moving abroad—whether you used a mover, shipped a few boxes, or did it another way. The company can be part of the story, but it’s not the only point.
• It captures the bigger journey: your planning, emotions, logistics, arrival, and what you learned along the way
• It has room for context and detail, not just a score or a short verdict
• It’s where you can share what surprised you, what challenged you, and what you wish you’d known earlier
• It also includes the human moments that make moves memorable—unexpected help, lucky timing, a small decision that saved the day, or a reassuring moment when things finally clicked

Why that matters for readers

Mover reviews help people choose a company. Expat blogs help people feel prepared for the entire experience of moving abroad—practically and emotionally—by learning from someone who’s already been through it.
