Swapping America For New Zealand

from It's a Drama Podcast

If you are considering moving to New Zealand from the US then you will love this week's show. Two weeks ago, our guests found themselves leaving America for good to start a new life down under. And it wasn't easy for them. Moving away from family, selling your home and giving away possessions all comes with a big emotional price tag.   Would You Like To Join Our Private New Zealand Community?

SIGN UP NOW!   Leaving America For Good In this week's show, we talk to Maile and Brian, a couple from Vermont in the USA. Their story is like something out of a movie. Brian and Maile met at high school. They were friends for some years but drifted apart when their careers took different paths. Maile trained to be a nurse and Brian worked in IT account management. The couple had no contact for twenty years. And then out of the blue, Maile received a Facebook request from Bryan. Which she accepted. Phew.  Maile was working as a travel nurse but Bryan was experiencing some major life challenges (he called it a midlife crisis). This midlife crisis drove him to New Zealand. For three months.  Unbeknown to Bryan, Maile also held a flame for New Zealand. When Bryan returned to America the two spent more and more time together and decided that they would love to return to New Zealand. Together.   Moving To New Zealand  Bryan and Maile began to plan. They researched everything they could about moving to New Zealand. They compared the cost of living in New Zealand vs the US, thought about where they would live (which island was the best, the North or the South Island?). They even brushed up on some New Zealand slang. But watching YouTube videos and asking questions on Facebook wasn't enough for Maile and Bryan. They needed support. Some inside information. They wanted friends who were going through the same challenges and emotional upheaval as they were. And they found it. When they signed up for the FREE 5-day life in New Zealand video guide and then went on to invest in the New Zealand Calling Ultimate Package.    Living in New Zealand Which brings us to now!  Bryan and Maile have been living in New Zealand for a grand total of ten days. And, through the private community, we have become close friends. And that is how I was very lucky enough to interview Maile and Bryan and share that content with you!
