**We’ve made it to New Zealand… ?? First real update from our new life here.** Since spending 6 weeks travelling across Thailand after leaving the UK, this is our first proper catch up now we’ve actually arrived. I’m talking through our first few weeks, how it’s been settling in as a family of four, and how it’s *really* felt now it’s no longer just an idea. It’s still early days, but already there are things that feel very different, things that have surprised me and things we’re still adjusting to. If you’re thinking about moving to New Zealand, or just curious about what it’s actually like to emigrate, I’m sharing it all as we go. I’m Jennie, mum of two young boys, navigating motherhood and big life changes. This space is about honest motherhood, family life and what it really looks like to start again somewhere new. --- ? *Coming up on the channel:* - Cost of living in New Zealand compared to UK - Schools & raising kids here - What our day to day life actually looks like - More updates as we settle in ? New videos every other week ? Are you planning a move or recently done something similar? I’d love to hear how you’ve found it to! --- #moving to New Zealand from UK, #living in New Zealand, #moving abroad with kids, #expat life New Zealand, #UK vs New Zealand lifestyle
