The five things I'd take with me are my dog, wallet, glasses, meds and car. I really am a simple person, too. When I moved to Germany, I didn't ship anything over.

While it was a bit scary at the time, having done it, it remains apparent how little I truly need in this world. I'm not naive, though; I realize the fact I had some cash aided me in my transition.
