Hello everyone and happy new year 2008.
We (Carsten and me) just arrived in this forum and on the 3rd of May we will also be arriving at some other new place: New Zealand. Having planed this for two years and having gone all the way from the "do we really have to go"to the "can we go now, can we go now?", I can truly say, that our motives for a new start have passed the test of time.
What are the motives? Here the quick run: better work life balance own home great nature businessfriendly politics antiwar attitude friendly people far away location.
How boring, without a perspective and without real challenge our life would be without this great adventure ahead.
Good luck to all you fellow settlers out there who also want more from life.

Cheers to the new year hooray!!!
Petra and Carsten
