Hi! I'm Alison, and in a span of six years, I've moved 9 times.

Some were small, in-state moves from one small town to the next. But three of them spanned 3,000 miles, from New Hampshire to Southern California! (More on that here).

Moving to new places has re-energized me, pushed me far out of my comfort zone, and shaped me into the person I am today. Some of my favorite life experiences wouldn't have ever happened had I stayed put.

My goal is to help you plan your best move ever.

I currently reside in beautiful San Diego, California with my husband and our two dogs.
