ajzepp Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Hey, I hear you.When my wife and I first started to discuss moving away to the South Pacific, we thought that it would be impossible. Waaaaaay too big of a task to undertake. Then, as we got the ball rolling, we realized that it was only a f'ing billion little tasks to do instead of one big one. Once we were able to dissect the situation... we were able to undertake it. (Plus... we're a modest little family on one income. We did this on a tiny shoestring budget.) 591610[/snapback] You should get your blog going on here....I bet there are a lot of us that would love to hear about your experiences! How is the single scene out there? Lots of single cute girls?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is the single scene out there? Lots of single cute girls?? 591611[/snapback] I don't know how the single scene is from personal experience since I'm married, but... let me tell you that the view from my office window is amazing. LOT'S of young scantily clad european gals like to come here to travel, because it's beautiful and very safe. (There is nearly NO crime here in Nelson.) No kidding.

No crime. Progressive Government. Drive on the left. Metric system. Round-a-bouts etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoodBye Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 You might be able to tell that I find what you did to be absolutely fascinating....I think Mead feels the same way! It's almost inspiring to hear some of this stuff.....a big part of me wants to just up and leave for NZ right now, lol. 591604[/snapback] I'll go with ya. Does it rain a lot there in NZ? If I see another drop of rain I might go crazy right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see you're from Oregon. We actually moved here from Camas Washington. (Right near Portland.) It rains a shtload along the west coast, but Nelson (where i live) has the most sunshine hours in all of NZ. So far the weather has been AMAZING.
