Welcome to Thinking of Emigrating to New Zealand

Welcome to my new blog.

Are you considering a move to New Zealand? perhaps you're thinking of living there long term or just want to sample the lifestyle for a while and then move on.

This is a blog dedicated to giving you as much information as possible to enable you to make an informed choice.

There is a wealth of information on the world wide web about the benefits of New Zealand, this centres mostly around the beautiful landscape, the laid back lifestyle and how great a place it is to raise kids.

There isn't so much information on the realities of life for many newcomers to the country, the problems that migrants face most days and how they manage to overcome them, if indeed they do. Nor is there much about the poverty, the high level of crime and drug abuse and the dissatisfaction that is felt within New Zealand.
