If you are currently a student travelling abroad, you are one of the lucky ones. If you are a student who is thinking about travelling, go for it. You can’t learn nearly as much by staying home. It can be expensive to travel, but with some good planning and cheap flights, it’s possible.

Self Storage for Students Travelling Abroad

Many students are excited by the opportunity to study abroad in Europe, Mexico or Asia. Only a handful actually apply for their school’s program. If you’re one of those who’s taking the leap and heading oversea for a semester, you need a secure place to store your belongings. Instead of asking your friend if you can store your furniture in their basement, or having mom or dad come to pick everything up, keep it safe in one a self storage unit. We have so many sizes and offer discounts to students.

Some benefits of renting a locker during your travels are:

• Independence
• Security
• Peace of Mind
• Flexible Terms (you can extend from abroad)

If you are thinking of travelling in a group, we love to have students share storage lockers. This will allow you and all your friends to have a safe and secure place to store all your belongings while you travel. With our unique gate code access, there is no need to share a key. You can all make copies of the locker key if you wish.

If during your travels, some friends drop out, you can downsize your storage locker to save money. Just make sure one of your friends back home is willing to move the things from one unit to another.

Call us today to reserve a locker – We do same day rentals for last minute plans.

When you are in the process of moving around, you have a million things running around your brain. It’s only natural that you tend to forget a few things here and there. Most people do not realize that once the move is done, it’s still not really over. Here are 4 things you need to find AFTER you are done moving.

4 Things After You Move

1. Hairdresser

Many people have one hair dresser that they trust and keep around for a long time. Well when you move, you may not think about this right away, but when times comes for a fresh cut, where do you go? Well you can ask friends, neighbors or even co workers. Another option is to check local hair dressers/barber shops and their online reviews. This should be enough to find someone well recommended. You might have to try a few before you find a favorite.

2. Family Doctor

Family doctors are hard to find and even harder to get into. So this might be an important step before you even move, leaving it until you arrive could be costly. We suggest that you first ask your original family doctor to see if they can refer you to another in your destination city. You could also use this website to help your search, they list all the physicians in your new area.

3. Storage

If you are downsizing or simply need time to unpack and sort everything out, finding storage is critical. Often times you can research self storage facilities in your area, Sparefoot is a great online tool for this. At Stop and Store we have storage locations across the US, check and see if we can help you.

4. Trusted Mechanic

Finding a good mechanic is almost as hard as finding a doctor. You want someone you can trust with your vehicle. If you haven’t found one, your car brand dealership could help, however we suggest going independent as the service and prices are generally better. Just like hairdressers, online reviews are your best friend in this situation.

Don’t forget these 4 things and the sooner you start thinking about them the better. Good luck with your move and choose Stop and Store Harrisburg for all your storage needs.
