Emigrated to NZ
2 years ago
An idea of travelling evolved into emigrating and in Feb 02 we arrived in Auckland with just the bags on our backs, no home, job, car, friends, etc.
People thought we were mad but we knew if it didn’t work out we could return to England – we had nothing to lose.
5 years later we are now NZ citizens and just love it here. We have our own house in Birkenhead and have just bought an idealic piece of land on the Kaipara Harbour with stunning water and rural views. One day, we’d like to build our own house, grow veges and keep horses but in the meantime, we’ll just go up and camp at weekends!
To anyone thinking of emigrating – JUST DO IT! If it doesn’t work out, at least you can say you’ve tried. That’s much better than wondering ‘what if …’
