Default New Plymouth / Taranaki
Hi all!

Our EOI was selected in the last draw, and now we're waiting for the ITA...
Finally we can now believe that we are actually going - leaving from Helsinki, Finland to move to New Plymouth.

My wife has a job there in the hospital and I will be stay-at-home-dad until I find work (luckily not in a hurry).
We're all excited, but we have no idea of what we're getting into, especially in regards to New Plymouth.
We'd love to hear your comments about the city and region!

Also, I'm going to be a stay-at-home-dad. Any experiences on how well that goes in NZ? I'm a bit concerned about finding a social circle if I'm not working, especially since NP is not the biggest city. Anybody has stories to share?

Cheers,

Paul+Sanni
