Who has or has not been...
Hi All
As I am nosey (Andy tells me all the time) - I wanted to see how many people decide to embark on a life changing move to NZ without ever visiting.
So please answer yes or no - to having had visited NZ before your move.
For us it will be YES as first visit next year (we hope) ..

We had 3 weeks in NZ April/May and this was not long enough. But easier for us as a family to make move I think, as Hubby was there til he was 7 and has been back twice and has family there. Hope so anyway!!
