Swapping America for New Zealand. But was it all worth it?

Turning your back on the American dream for a new life in New Zealand. Is it possible, for a couple in their late fifties to leave everything behind, move to the other side of the world and create a new life in New Zealand?   It certainly is. Not only is it possible but, according to some, it is what keeps you young and life exciting! In this week's show, I talked with Sheri. Sheri was the director of a hospital in the USA. She and her husband Dan spent the past thirty years building a comfortable life together for themselves and their family.  And then two of her children moved to New Zealand and took the grandchildren with them. So what did Dan and Sheri do? They stepped out of the American dream and they followed their hearts. They opted for an adventure. They started all over again. This is their story. Starting a New Life in New Zealand. The Details In this week's show, Sheri talks about: How she and her husband came to the decision to move to New Zealand Leaving her son and his children back in the USA Returning to being a bedside nurse in NZ after spending years as a director of a hospital Renting a home after years of being a homeowner How the move has affected her and her husband, Dan Working in a New Zealand hospital The positives and negatives of moving to New Zealand.
