Re: Unsettled, anyone else like this?

I'm confused mainly I guess that's why I'm unsettled. I love it in nz everything about it. But the only thing nz doesn't have is my family. So yes I guess I'm debating whether or not a permanant move...

Re: BuckBoys NZ observations - moved from - Emigrating from Kent to Auckland

Can i just say. I get really annoyed when people 'compare' countries. I know it is easy to do, but no one place is the same. EVERY country has issues and some pretty major ones. I think if you decide...

Re: We are coming over in January

Stock up on clothes/shoes etc. There isnt the choice here like in the UK and it is generally more expensive.

GOOD LUCK and i hope everything goes well with the move.

Re: Unsettled, anyone else like this?

Thanks for your kind words, i'm up in Whangarei so i bit far to meet for a beer ;)

Re: Unsettled, anyone else like this?

Maybe it's a nostalgic thing? The UK is where we grew up so I guess always full of memories. A sense of belonging maybe?

Overall I'm settled but the days I really miss my family I feel a huge...

Re: Thinking of NZ - family of 5

Very true, didn't mean for it to sound like moving to NZ would be a disappointment, lol! Maybe try not compare in general as all countries are so different. ;)

Re: 6 months in and trying to see some positives

Hope things get easier for you. I agree housing in NZ can be shocking. Cold and so damp. We're in Northland and built a new house 2 years ago, we have no heating at all, just double glazing an...

Re: Thinking of NZ - family of 5

Re: Unsettled, anyone else like this?

Thanks for the repiies.

Louise, I think we're better off her as I don't think we could have the kind of house and land we have here back in my hometown in the UK. We have a big section and 4...

Unsettled, anyone else like this?

Hi everyone.

I married a kiwi in 2002 (in the UK) and moved out to NZ in 2003 and have been here ever since.
