having a fixed address things get even more complicated. </p> <p>There are still a lot of institutions that require you to have an address to get mail - all the banks, ATO, the travel insurance company and so on. There is no option to request all communication to go through email or to explain that for some time, even though your country of residence is Australia, you are not occupying a property here.</p> <p>The easiest way out of this is to have a friend's or relative's address in place of yours - they'll get all your mail, check if anything needs your attention and notify you accordingly. But this option has its drawbacks, it may sound like a small favor to ask of someone, but it is not, it is a big responsibility and can be time consuming too. And on top of that - what if they want to travel or forget to tell you of something important or just get tired of taking care of your business? Then you are out of luck and probably out of a friend. </p> <p>The good news is you can organize everything yourself and not rely on anyone to handle your mail. There are several options we found and you can choose the one that would best suit your situation.</p> <h2>AusPost Mail Hold</h2> <p><a href="https://auspost.com.au/receiving/manage-your-mail/redirect-hold-mail/hold-mail">Australia Post Mail Hold</a></p> <p>You can request to have all your mail on hold until you come back home. It will be held at the post office and delivered when you get home. </p> <p>This options is easy to set up and if you are travelling for up to a few months and keeping your home is probably best to do it this way.</p> <p><strong>Pros</strong></p> <ul><li>easy to set up</li> </ul><p><strong>Cons </strong></p> <ul><li>no option to check or read mail</li> <li>no option to get mail before coming home</li> <li>at the end mail is send to original home address</li> <li>for period of up to 1 year</li> </ul><p><strong>Cost</strong>: 12 months - $480</p> <h2>AusPost PO Box</h2> <p><a href="https://auspost.com.au/receiving/manage-your-mail/po-boxes-and-private-bags">Australia Post PO Box</a></p> <p>For this one you'll need to first get a PO box and then redirect your mail to this PO Box. All your mail is going to be sent there and when you get home you can collect it.</p> <p><strong>Pros</strong></p> <ul><li>easy to set up</li> <li>can be used without a fixed address</li> </ul><p><strong>Cons</strong></p> <ul><li>no option to check or read mail</li> <li>no option to get mail before coming home</li> <li>PO Box has a limited physical size (should be taken into consideration)</li> </ul><p><strong>Cost</strong>: 12 months - $290 (redirection $133 + PO Box $157 (small))</p> <h2>Mail redirection service</h2> <p>There are a few companies out there that offer mail redirection services - what it means is that you redirect all your mail to them, they collect it and then send it to you wherever you are (on request), give you a complete list of all your mail, scan letters, send specific ones to you or even shred whatever you deem junk. Some would even give you a physical address you can use.</p> <p>Not all mail redirection companies will offer all of those services so, as usual, it is good to shop around to find the one that suits you.</p> <p>As I say that there are a few companies out there that offer this services, I do mean just a few - we found just three, might be others, but probably not many.</p> <h3>SOS Mail</h3> <p><a href="https://www.sosmail.com.au/">SOS Mail Solutions</a> are our choice as they are very serious, have a neat online system for checking mail and choosing what to do with it, offer shredding, sending

As we had decided long time ago that it would be best not to keep our apartment so the preparations included selling a lot of stuff and moving the rest to a tiny storage unit. Selling was fun, like the first few weeks during which we filled the place with furniture and stuff, but in reverse - the rooms were getting emptier each day. Some things sold for more than expected, some for less but either way it is interesting and fun to learn the market value of one's possessions. Most emotional sale was the car, seven years old and in great condition we were sad to let it go, hopefully the young lady who bought it will enjoy driving it as much as we did.</p> <p><em>Hint: If your fridge is more than 4-5 years old and not top of the range, now it costs a lot less than expected. If it is older you might even have difficulties selling it, don't leave it for the last moment.</em></p> <p>Of course there were things we wanted to keep, but couldn't take with us, so we got a storage unit nearby. Planning the layout was like a puzzle game, eventually we had a great solution. After the initial move which included about 80% of the items we wanted to store we were so happy. All went downhill (pun intended) when we came back two days later to find that a cardboard box had caved in and caused a small avalanche inside the storage. That was hands down the worst moment of our pre-departure phase. Half an hour and a roll of tape later things were kind of stable, now everything is stacked inside and when we left it looked pretty good, but should put a note somewhere to only open the door wearing a hard hat. </p> <p><em>Hint: If you are after a storage unit in Australia - shop around. Small, local companies offer way better conditions than the large, multi-location storage specialists. For our needs (annual payment, small unit) it turned out that big companies charge sometimes 2-3 times more than the best offer on the market.</em></p> <p>Least fun and unexpectedly time consuming was cleaning up the apartment. I don't want to go into details, but next time will hire somebody to do it. I hate cleaning slimline blinds, who came up with those? And why can't you put them in the dishwasher?</p> <p>On top of all this were numerous small things to sort out - redirect the mail, cancel the electricity and water, update vaccines, choose a mobile roaming plan, pack bags, book hotels, flights and so on... </p> <p>Despite being some of the busiest weeks of my life this was time of great excitement too - counting the days until our departure from Melbourne, talking about all the places we are going to visit, the people we are going to meet, the sights we are going to see, the foods we are going to taste - we just couldn't wait for the adventure to begin!</p></div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/bootstrap/templates/field/field.html.twig' --> </section> <!-- END OUTPUT from
