My expat journey
Auckland, New Zealand
Remembering what it is like to be a New Zealander. Still the same but changed. Renovating our house in rural Auckland and finding my feet - still!
Stay at home mum keeping the family on track.
Spread out city with no plan, very polarised culturally. I live in the countryside, so am not surrounded by people, however, the suburb in which we live does not have a local village. It is quite strange.
Copenhagen, Denmark
Much the same as previous location, more freedom to get on with my own creative projects now the children were older.
Stay at home mum.
Danish people, beautiful countryside, architecture, museums, parks, beaches, lifestyle
Insane taxation and cost of living.
Rotterdam, Netherlands

Expatriate stay at home mum.
Wonderful expat friends we made, ease of travel to the rest of Europe.
Dutch attitude to many things, congestion, xenophobia, so many people in a small space
Wellington, New Zealand
Born and educated in Wellington, so a true Wellingtonian. Left to pursue an expatriate contract in Europe with my husband.
Interior designer followed by stay at home mum.
Great vibe to the city, creative, cultural, ease of living, ease of getting around the city. Can't beat Wellington on a good day.
