Emigrating to New Zealand: Marks out of 10

Our Blog

So Far
It's been 3 years now, we moved house, had twins, got our permanent residency and we've cried - a lot - wanted to go home, wanted to stay for ever. You are going to read about a roller-coaster ride that hasn't stopped.

This is the story of our journey, please comment or ask questions via the comments. I will answer them all.
If you're moving to Auckland buy "Where to Live in Auckland," there's a link on the left. It is invaluable.

Regards and Good Luck
Jonathan and Rebecca

Marks out of 10

I think I did ok, as luck would have it so did becca! I ate too much but I almost did too well, Becca did quite feel missed enough! The Truth is of course we all missed her. Families are all about Mummy and they are partnerships however that works for individuals. I t was great to have the kids for the weekend, it is easier to have kids in New Zealand, the lack of crowds, traffic and the open spaces are the main factors. The other is the sense of community and the fact there is more time here.

Time is simply that one indefinable thing that we take for granted and yet plays the single most important part in our lives. We all need more time and thats what we got when we came to New Zealand.
