How to Pack and Store Your Stuff

Hello, my name is Nicky. Welcome to my moving and storage blog. I recently decided that I was tired of where I was living and that I would rather live on the other side of Australia in somewhere like Perth. I was super excited and had bought my airline ticket when I suddenly remembered that I had a house full of stuff that I couldn't take with me. I booked a transport company truck to move most of my stuff and found a great storage place here in Sydney for the rest of the junk. I hope you enjoy the blog!
