Thinking of emigrating to NZ

Kelloggs · #1 (**permalink**) 20th May 2008, 03:06 PM

Hello everyone. Myself and my family are thinking of emigrating to New Zealand so it is very early days in the process but would like to hear what people think of the cost of living out there as that is a big factor in us moving out there. Cost of diesel here currently £1.28 at some petrol stations!!!! Home sickness is also a big concern although I appreciate something most people must go through so any suggestions, experiences I would love to hear about. Any stories and experiences of emigrating to NZ in general would be very helpful. Many thanks in advance everyone.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

You need to post on the New Zealand country forum, where you will get more response to your questions.

Although you don't say where you are, judging from the price of petrol, you are in the UK. We certainly don't regret leaving.

Good luck with your plans.

Michelle
