HELPFUL TIPS

BEFORE
MOVING

Moving does not mean taking everything.

Moving can be seen as an opportunity that we can use to get rid of some objects that we rarely use and that occupy a space in our house. With this, we will also save ourselves from having to pack it, load it with the object in the transfer, unpack it ... and realize in our new address that it still does not have a place.

TIPS AT
THE TIME OF
PACKING

It is very important to keep in mind that moving can be a complicated situation without proper planning, which is why we recommend you to separate each of your belongings by categories and carry them in an orderly manner.
