Hi,

I'm just wondering what are people's reasons for wanting to move to NZ? Is it the pull of NZ, the way of life and the great outdoors, or it more personal eg. perhaps to get away from family, to leave behind a past history, wanting a completely fresh new start in life, or perhaps for career reasons?

I ask, probably because I'm trying to examine my motives for moving to NZ... and I want to make sure my motives are right.

If you've moved and settled, in retrospect, do your initial motives for leaving match up with how you feel now, ie do you still feel that you still left for those initial reasons or have new reasons appeared that you weren't aware of, eg perhaps you initially moved for the lifestyle and not for your career, but once you moved you realised you were stuck in a rut workwise and didn't realise it, but this could have subconsciously contributed to you wanting to move? I hope that makes sense!
