Quitting Canada to Retire in New Zealand. WHY??

Quitting Canada to Retire in New Zealand. WHY??

I have heard it said many times that Canada is New Zealand on steroids. The mountains, the lakes, the beaches, the space. Canada has exactly what New Zealand has only it’s…Canadian. So where should you live? Canada or New Zealand?

In this week’s show, we are excited to introduce Randy and Suzanne, a couple who have lived together in Ontario Canada, for the past thirty years. Randy is Canadian and Suzanne is a kiwi. She was born in New Zealand, moved to Canada when she was seventeen years old. She met Randy, fell in love,  and the rest is history!

But. The story doesn’t end there. 

Later this year, Randy and Suzanne are going to leave Canada for good and retire in New Zealand

You are about to find out why…

Enjoy!

The FEARS Around Moving to New Zealand

There’s a quote that I love: ‘If it were easy then everyone would do it’. 

This week, we are excited to share with you an extra special show. What you are about to hear is a podcast that was put together by the members of our private New Zealand Calling community. The subject is about their fears about moving to New Zealand.

This show is fabulous.

Wherever you are on your New Zealand adventure, whatever stage of the game you’re in, this episode will put to rest those niggling fears and doubts and help you to understand that the thoughts that you are having are all part of the package.

Completely normal. And usually unjustified.

Remember. If it were easy, then everyone would do it.
