make sure you can actually live with this person

He said he's lived with the guy before.

Pack boxes by room, maybe even part of room. Bathroom stuff in one box, kitchen stuff in another, desk stuff, bed area stuff, etc. Pack one box labeled "open first" containing anything you will need the first day you arrive.

Banker boxes are the perfect size for moving. They have handles, and it's almost impossible to pack them too heavy. They also stack neatly.

That's a smart idea, and I'll use it when I have more stuff. As it is, most of my stuff fits in a backpack and suitcase. The rest is suits and paintings.

Would you suggest a safe for valuables and documents?

I don't know your situation, where your stuff's going to be during transit, etc. But if you're asking about security storage, then maybe you need it.
You can get a trunk or a briefcase and put a padlock on it if it seems necessary.

If you don't trust your roomie, neighborhood or guests, maybe.

Basically, your documents are boring and no one cares enough to steal them. Just put them shits in a shoe box.
