Welcome to my new blog! On this site I am going to document my travels - and hopefully my eventual moving - to New Zealand.
The idea of living in New Zealand was always appealing to me: New Zealand seems so far away from everywhere else, quaint, beautiful, peaceful, nuclear-free, hassle-free, casually-liberal... So now I am going to make my dream a reality. Here I will write about my pursuit of immigrating there, if possible by the summer of 2008.
Since I never even been there, the first step is to take an actual tour of the islands, in order to see if I even like it there. As possible, I will describe here my upcoming Christmas trip and adventures. If it feels right after this trip, I will dig into the mechanics of what it takes to immigrate to New Zealand, and how the process works for me.
There are many considerations that needs to be evaluated to make this a smooth & successful move, legal, financial, lifestyle, micro-political, social, etc. As I explore them all, you may have a chance to learn about them too. My goal with posting the process as a public forum is to develop a central location for folks who’d like to do the same.
Enjoy, explore the site, and please participate with comments, questions & support.
