Good luck with the move! Hope you've made a stiff version of your starter for the move so that it can handle a bit of abuse in the transition.
Honestly I'm probably just gonna wash the bowl out and pack it. I'm not uptight about my starter, I've killed and restarted mine at least 20-30 times, and I don't subscribe to the almost mythological status people associate with old starters.
The microbiome is going to adjust to the way you treat it, what you feed out, and (to a much lesser degree) where it is. It doesn't fucking matter that 100,000,000 generations ago the yeast was French lol
