Definitely get a container there, not here. And pack with everything that you think you might need in the next 34 years. Personally, I should have bought a heck of a lot more IKEA stuff - resale here is about for 2-4x the price. If you are into wine, load up as much as possible in the container. Pack all of your household goods, and/or buy new stuff there. As a culinary person, you know the value good tools, they are are super expensive here.
Start any dog or cat quarantine process now and be well educated on all the aspects/regulations and you will likely have a smooth process. We started the process 4 months early and it was smooth as can be, but expensive, for 3 pets.
Ship any decent vehicle, especially a truck or van, you will save thou$ands. One exception to shipping a vehicle is that you can ship your trade tools inside them, you may have to stand your ground, but Matson will relent. I originally shipped a van full to the roof with my plumbing tools and all the pipe and fittings I could muster, and then a complete screen printing business a few years later in a Maxi-van.
Can't recommend the rental advice enough. If you have your registration in order, your tiny home is classified as a trailer here. Composting toilets are allowed here. Aqua culture under a catchment system will be a tricky balancing act, so many avenues for something to go wrong quickly, and the fix will could lengthy and expensive.
Your income here as a cook/chef will be shockingly and low. Lots of lower end, back of the house gigs, few and far between higher end positions. But there is always a demand.
