The Story of our move to NZ

8 years ago
Hi all,
A few years back, my family & I moved from the Netherlands to my home country, New Zealand (my wife and daughters are Dutch).
It was quite a stressful, tiring operation, with lots of gotchas and "wish we knew about that" moments. Arriving in NZ was different for my wife and kids than it was for me. For them it was all new. They had to adjust to the "silly little things" that the kiwis did. For me, it was also an adjustment. I had been out of NZ for 12 years. Being back was odd.

Lately I've been toying with the idea of writing about what we went through. Would people be interested in reading about that?

I want to write it from a personal perspective, but also include useful information and resources.

Please let me know if this is something that would be of interest to you.

Thanks
