Anywhere But Here: The Top Countries Americans Are Moving To

September 2, 2021 by admin

COVID restrictions put a halt to international moving for a while, but now determined Americans who want to live somewhere else are starting to pull up stakes again. Whether you’re retired, want to go somewhere where the pandemic is less problematic, or have political reasons for making the change, you’ll want to know what the most popular countries Americans are moving to.

According to Forbes magazine, #1 on the list is Costa Rica. Blessed with lush tropical beauty, a warm, welcoming population, and affordable cost of living, moving to Costa Rica is a relatively straight-forward process. The best international moving companies recommend giving yourself 12-16 months to make the move. This allows you to have time to find and secure your new residence, as well as having all of your possessions shipped in a safe, efficient manner.

#2 on the list for international moves – Panama City, Panama. Long considered one of the most desirable destinations for American retirees, Panama City has a great cultural scene, decent health care, and a strong ex pat community that makes making the move easy. And setting aside the occasional ship’s captain who gets their boat stuck, Panama is a relatively quiet country that doesn’t get a lot of attention.

#3 – Mexico. As an international moving company, we’ve moved many families from Boston to Mexico. No matter what kind of lifestyle you’re looking for, Mexico offers it. If you want a sophisticated, big city lifestyle, Mexico City delivers. Want laid back country living? So much of the country is affordable, beautiful, and peaceful. Like California style living without a Baja budget? Mexico will delight you.

In fact, Mexico is the most popular ex pat destination in the world. If you make the move yourself, you’ll find plenty of your fellow Americans. There’s also a large Canadian contingent that resettled into Mexico. If you’re tired of the cold weather, and want to enjoy life in the sun, Mexico can be perfect.

"My mother was living in a retirement community in Massachusetts. After she passed, there were three groups of items that needed to go to three different locations. One of those groups contained a large china cabinet. This had much sentimental value for me but it needed refinishing before having it shipped to my home in Virginia. I was referred to Boston Pack and Ship. They advised me to ship it directly to a refinisher to save me from having to move the cabinet one more time. Boston Pack and Ship stored the china cabinet while I searched for a refinisher near my home. Long story short, I found a refinisher here in Virginia and Boston Pack and Ship prepared the china cabinet for delivery. It arrived safe and sound to the refinisher on schedule who said it was ‘beautifully wrapped and protected’. I can’t thank Bill and Boston Pack and Ship enough for their help in getting my china cabinet to me safely. Most importantly, they were caring and patient at a difficult time in my life."

I used Boston Pack and Ship to pick up, pack, and ship an Italian lounge chair from Boston to San Francisco. Excellent communication all along the way. They did an outstanding job packing the chair, it arrived in perfect condition. Couldn't be happier with the support from Gene and the team.

I used Boston Pack and Ship to send an antique piece of furniture from Boston to Sedona, AZ. I can't say enough about their service and the quality of the packing. Item arrived on the day they said it would and was in pristine condition. Easy to work with and great customer service. Highly recommend.

I hired Boston Pack and Ship to move two items from my storage unit in the Boston area to my home in Florida. Gene Sullivan was 110% responsive. He picked up the items on time, packed them expertly; and they arrived in perfect condition about ten days after pick up. I could not ask for better service. Five stars is not enough!

We at Casey Movers do not hesitate to refer our customers to this business for shipments we do not think we are best suited for (smaller inter-state shipments under 3,000lbs, etc). Have had great feedback from clients that have utilized this service. Thank you from all at Casey Movers for providing top notch service and have a great new year!
