new member addicted to nz
It gets under your skin! I've been 5 times and every attempt to make a life there work out has failed but still I have hope (crazy huh?!)
I look around my Canadian wilderness here and I think the landscape looks all wrong. I miss NZ trees (whats left of them), I miss the smell of the mud in the paddocks, I miss nz small towns, flowers in winter, the damp cold winter mornings even...
..so I got husband to admit to feeling a 5 out of 10 about moving back (well that is progress!) and yesterday he even submitted his cv to a (perfect) job I found for him in our favorite nz city. It seems that immigrating is easier than when we went 7 yrs ago, every thing I research seems to point to a green light and yes yes yes try again---which is a terrible lure for an addicted to nz person!
I am also terrified because if for some reason he was actually offered this job then we would be in a panic! Our house is no where near ready to be put on the market, we haven't yet submitted and EOI, we are encumbered with a north american lifesytle full of junk (that I'd love to dump)....and husband would have to climb up from his 5 out of 10 position in a hurry. I don't think I could forgive him if he turned this job down...so in a way I am hoping that this all perfect position in the perfect place doesn't work out so I don't have to face potential dissapointment (ok even crazier huh?!)
Okay that's me rant for the day! I love this site and read voraciously every single post (more food for the addict --lol)
