Would you ever consider...

[Arimeh]

.. selling up everything and moving to say... New Zealand? (obviously this doesn't apply to the people that already live there )

[Indadhanu]

Wow... I dunno... Probably not... I grew up with only my granddad as extended family, I never saw my aunts/uncles/counsins or even other grandparents and I want my kids to always know their uncles/aunts/cousins etc.

But if I had family there then yeah I'd consider it. But Not having family there I wouldn't be able to do it.

You moving to NZ?

[Lulu]

Nope - too far from everyone I love

and I'm scared of SHEEP.

[Maruschke]

Whats the go Mel? You taking off on us? I'd never move to NZ, unemployment is a huge issue over there, and the minimum wage is realllllllly low.

[Arimeh]

You moving to NZ?

I'm here to ask the questions - not answer them

hehehehehe

[Astrid]

Pretty sure we toyed with the idea 10+ years ago, but we were looking at a lot of different scenarios back then.

[Nelle]

Yeah, if there were jobs and available accommodation waiting for us. It looks really beautiful in places over there, and friendly.

[kirsty_lee]

Um.. sorry mel but this question is redundant because I AM moving to the sunshine coast therefore you are NOT ALLOWED to move to NZ .. no way.. putting my foot down

[Visitor7]

Yeah, if there were jobs and available accommodation waiting for us. It looks really beautiful in places over there, and friendly.

Yep, what Nelle said.
I wanted move anywhere, especially overseas unless I had something to go to.

[Snowy Love]

My sister & her family did - they were supposed to be there for 5 - 7 years, and have just moved back after about 3 years partially 'cause the kids were bullied for being Aussies - but that may have just been Christchurch.

[MrsB26]

nah, too cold for my liking and what Lulu said about the sheep

[~clover~]

Nah, can't wait to visit with my SIL though! She's Mauri & her father is pretty high up on the social scene...
I would love to see NZ, but only with her & my bro. Too cold for me too. Sheep don't bother me, lol. I grew up in shearing sheds!

[Arimeh]

Hmm... ok..

What about Tassie?

[Erin_25]

not to NZ, but just because it doesn't do it for me!

but yeah I would pack up & move & have done so twice now. Grew up in a small (& I mean small) country town in SA, lived there all my life til going to Adelaide for work, but back every other weekend. Then after DH & I got hitched it was time for a change & some better $$$$$, we lived in a very remote part of WA & now a semi remote part of QLD............I would love to go to Tassie Yes....but our next goal is CANADA. Company DH works for is based there......here we come!!!!

[MantaRay]

Maybe not NZ, but definitely yes to selling up and moving away.

[AngelPunks]

yes I would seriously consider selling up everything and moving away - lets just say I've not discounted it lately, have even sat down and worked out what I would need to sell etc and what I would do with the things I would want to keep. I basically have no family here, just my friends (who are amazing and wonderful & I couldn't survive without) and they would be more than welcome to come visit me anywhere I ended up.

[Marlene]

Nope! I've already done that and come back to Australia after 2 years...it just didn't work out.


Of course, I was only 2 years old at the time.

[boomba]

you know I wanted to do this but realised I am lonley enough as it is how much more lonley will i be going to a new town or city.

We will hopefully live in the uk or ireland for a year when the kids are bigger but not permantly.

Good luck hun if you do. Your very brave
