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 all the time that I’ve been writing this blog I have never had so many emails from people (mostly from the US) asking me how they can make their dream of moving to New Zealand become a reality.

My family and I have been living in New Zealand for fifteen years. We emigrated to New Zealand from the UK and without going into the ins and outs of how we coped with our new life down under, it was the best thing we ever did.
But the posts and podcasts that I share with you here, things such as what you will miss when you move to New Zealand and life in New Zealand with kids, are given from the point of view of a Brit.
And that’s not much use to the Americans in the audience.
So what did I do? I hunted down a real-life American who had emigrated to New Zealand.
That’s what I did.
A mother of four who moved to New Zealand with her family almost five years ago.
Tara shared her experience of moving to New Zealand from the US and revealed the biggest culture shocks, the significant differences, and the problems she encountered when moving to New Zealand from the US.

If you are thinking about making a new life in New Zealand and you have a family (with little kids) then I’m going to take a wild guess and say that you are a teeny bit, massively a lot, downright scared.
Or at the very least apprehensive.
You lay awake in bed, probably at 3 am, worrying about the food in New Zealand, whether you will be able to fit in, and what your future life in New Zealand will look like once you move to the other side of the world with your family.
Ask yourself if you really will be living the dream in New Zealand or whether you’re making a big mistake and will be attacked by tigers and lions and kiwis who live in down under land.
What’s life in New Zealand like with little kids?

I‘m not entirely sure how long the term unplugging has been a thing.
It used to be (back in the day) that if you were told you to unplug it was because your parents were trying to save money on the leckie bill.
Someone once told my dad that if you unplugged the toaster, you’d save 5p on every bill.
But nowadays, the term unplugging comes with a whole new meaning.
Unplugging in 2020 means getting off the internet, stop watching so much telly and telling your son to look up from his phone so that his neck doesn’t develop a permanent hump.

Maybe I’m naive.
Or slightly twisted.
But when I found out that there was an organisation called Couchsurfing that would allow me to travel the world with my teenagers (for free) while meeting other like-minded people, I jumped at it.
Yes, it would mean that we’d be sleeping under the same roof of complete strangers, maybe even on a couch, but we’d get to know interesting people and listen to stories that I hadn’t heard a thousand times before.
And who knows? They might even invite my teenagers to stay for a few years.

The funniest thing happened yesterday.
Because it was Fathers Day, I said my husband that on this week’s podcast episode we should talk about him being a homeschooling dad. Give some tips to all the other dads, husbands or partners out there that are currently faced with being a new homeschooling parent.
And guess what he said to me?
(Bearing in mind that our kids have been homeschooled for almost ten years).
He said: How can I talk about that? How can I give other guys homeschooling tips when it was you who did everything, and I just went to work?
