Oceania Trek
Just moved to Christchurch from San Francisco. This blog would probably interest people like me that, before moving, would like to read more first hand information from a newcomer. Surprisingly, I didn't find as much infor out there as I wanted, so this will hopefully fill the gap a bit. Feel free to post questions and comments!

I moved to Christchurch with my partner. I'm the "trailing spouse." We're something of an unusual case for this area, a gay mixed-race couple. I had so much anxiety about that coming over, but we've a good run of it so far. We live in a proper city, but we look forward to seeing the countryside on the weekends. This Easter we've planned a trip to the West Coast which is supposed to have glaciers as well as rain forest.
