UK to New Zealand - The Brunts Big Move
I have decided to keep this blog in the hope it will help people who are considering or have already made the move to New Zealand.
We are so glad that we made the leap and would encourage others to do the same. However it is not easy and I hope this blog will help to prepare people for some of the difficulties when you move to the other side of the world but also point out all the fantastic things you gain.
