Turning your back on the American dream for a new life in New Zealand.
Is it possible, for a couple in their late fifties to leave everything behind, move to the other side of the world and create a new life in New Zealand?
It certainly is. Not only is it possible but, according to some, it is what keeps you young and life exciting!

And then two of her children moved to New Zealand and took the grandchildren with them.
So what did Dan and Sheri do? They stepped out of the American dream and they followed their hearts. They opted for an adventure. They started all over again.
This is their story.
