Where to Live in NZ. North Island or South?

Where to Live in NZ. North Island or South?

If you are moving to New Zealand then the first thing you will consider is which island to live on. North or South?

We get asked this a lot from families who are moving to New Zealand and have no clue as to which island offers most.

So we thought we’d help out. Give you our honest thoughts (and experiences) on what we have experienced on both sides of the water.

Mild or Wild? What Are New Zealand Kids (Really) Like

What are New Zealand kids like?

This is a question that we get asked this a lot from families who are moving to New Zealand with kids.

So we thought we’d spill the beans.

The Watties ones, not the Heinz. And give you an insight into kiwi parents & how the kids in New Zealand are raised differently than in the UK.

Building a House in New Zealand. Dream or Nightmare?

Building a House in New Zealand. Dream or Nightmare?

Building your own home is what most people dream of.

We were no different.

When we moved to New Zealand twelve years ago, building a house in New Zealand was right up there on our list of hopes. Along with eventually mastering the New Zealand slang words.

And after two years of living in New Zealand, we took the leap and set about building a new house on a piece of land in Taranaki, New Zealand.

In this podcast, we show you how things played out.

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…
