Just right at the start of Spring.

We didn't know a soul either when we landed.

We love Taranaki - spent 7 weeks there last November - January, then 3 weeks in March, just hoping the rain stops and we get a better summer. Just need a house - looking for one within 30 mins NP

Yeah mine are the same, the girls have the added bonus of we will be living near grandma, josh was a bit reticent at first but he likes scuba, kayaking and surfing...all of which are more abundant so he is keen now, they were army brats so have moved around a bit

We do on the first leg but on the second leg they don’t have any of those seats left!!! That’s assuming we make our intended flight 🙉🙉

Hi Karina,

My husband (26) and I (27) have also just recently moved to Christchurch, from Glasgow. We arrived on 27th September. I am the same as you, looking for work now that I am here. We don't know anyone either! How is the house hunting going? Hope you are slowly finding your feet.

Hi Jessica, so nice to hear from someone in the same situation! It's been a bit of a rollercoaster so far if I'm honest - some days have been great... some, not so great! I'll private message you my number and we should go for coffee!!
