city-states, moving is still considered as a major life event that we must overcome and manage across numerous complex social boundaries.
Whether the reason for moving is to start a new career or to choose a better neighborhood, pulling up roots and moving to a new place comes full of preparations and processes. How might we simplify the moving process to alleviate the psychological anxieties of starting a new life in an unfamiliar place?
Our intent is to enable users to become both capable and self-sufficient so they may adapt to changes across geographical and socio-cultural boundaries.

Unlike other existing relocation platforms which rely on getting information from various disconnected sources, our service is a one-stop-solution where the data is sourced from a peer-based network to provide trustworthy information from known trusted entities.
