Moving away from family is probably the number one factor that prevents people from emigrating.
There’s no easy way to say it.
Leaving loved ones behind, be it, parents, grandparents, brothers or sisters, while you and yours move far, far away to start a new life is tough.
But that’s not to say it’s impossible and that you shouldn’t do it.
Listen to our podcast on Moving Away From Family Behind. How To Cope.

Is New Zealand behind the times?
In this podcast, Brian and I talk about a topic that so many people (people who have usually never even been here) like to say.
That is that New Zealand is behind the times. A bit backwards. Slow to catch on.
“Ohhh… it’s like the UK in the 1950’s”. There are air raid shelters and everything…

The food in New Zealand is not very well documented, is it? Be honest. When you think of foods in New Zealand, the first thing that comes to mind is a kiwi fruit, am I right?
You can tell me. I was the same…
When we made our move to New Zealand from the UK, I was expecting to get here and be faced with a plate full of lamb chops and maybe a kiwi fruit for dessert.
But then I learned the truth about New Zealand food. And the reality couldn’t have been further from the truth. From New Zealand traditional cuisine to the basic national dish of New Zealand that is found outside every hardware store on a Saturday…
There are lots of secret gems to share about the food in New Zealand!

In August this year, we will have been living in New Zealand for 17 years.
I can’t quite believe it.
It seems just yesterday that we made the decision to emigrate to New Zealand with our kids from the UK. Our grounds for leaving were many, but here is the main reason we left the UK for NZ.
New Zealand has given us a fair share of surprises and not everything was plain sailing when we first arrived.
Every country has its pros and cons, and living in New Zealand is no exception.
But, while there are things that annoy us about living here (like having to get used to the many New Zealand slang words!), there are many, many positives that make New Zealand, in my humble opinion, one of the world’s top destinations.

So. The bug has bitten you. You want to emigrate. You probably spend all day, every day- dreaming about emigrating. You have asked yourself, several times over the past few months, “What it’s all about?”
You dream of a different life. An easier life. And you believe that if you emigrate you will find a happier way of life. You begin to question, why it is that you or your husband work all year for a measly couple of weeks off in the summer. Sound familiar? That’s how it worked for us anyway.
But, before you take our lead and heave your family to the other side of the world, consider the 3 tips further down the page. (more…)
