This week's podcast on moving to New Zealand is hosted by me, (Liz ) and my husband Brian.

We moved to New Zealand from the UK with our two kids in 2009 and have now been living in New Zealand as a family (our kids are now 18 and 15) for more than ten years.

Our reasons for leaving the UK to start a new life in New Zealand were personal and rather jumbled. It was a kind of 'let's give it a go' decision and one which neither of us has ever regretted.

Not ever.

Amongst our other genie wishes, we longed for more space for the kids (which we have), less stress (tick) and more opportunity (I'll never be sure on this one, but I don't think we would have done the things we have - homeschooled both of our kids, built our own home, travelled the world for a year had we not moved to New Zealand, so, yes opportunity gets a tick too!).
