In this episode I chat with Damien Mason from Mason Transport, a leader in international relocation services to and from Ireland. With over 28 years in the business, Damien shares with us the ins and outs of moving to and from Ireland after helping people move over the last three decades.

Navigating the task of moving cars, furniture, personal items and more is difficult without guidance and support on the restrictions, paperwork and coordination (especially when it could be months before you see your stuff again). Damien shares his advice on navigating customs, avoiding common pitfalls, and making your big move as smooth as possible.

The insights Damien shares in this episode could be the tips you need to make your move from or to Ireland that much easier. We hope you enjoy the episode and can ease the strain on your move!
