We are moving to New Zealand!

November 19, 2015Linda AndersonDREAM BIG, FAMILY, TRAVELNo Comments

I have exciting news to share … my family and I are moving to New Zealand at the end of this year!

There are many stories to be told about this move but here are the answers to the top 5 questions people ask me:

Where are we going?

We are moving to a place called Waiheke Island. It is a beautiful island in the middle of Auckland Harbour filled with beaches, bush tracks and vineyards. It is a 30 minute ferry ride from Auckland CBD but a feels a million miles away. You can read a bit more about it in this article I wrote for Expedia.

 

Why are we going?

Because we have had a dream for many years to live somewhere connected to water and bush, to live a slower paced life, and to raise our children somewhere that they have more freedom than in Sydney.

How big is the island?

I can’t tell you in terms of size but I know that around 9000 people live on the island permanently but there is a big tourism population in summer. There are 2 primary schools and 1 high school on the island.

Are you moving forever?

Yes … and no. Nothing is forever but we imagine being there a very long time.

 

What will you do there? 

Running an online business fits in perfectly with our move. I can still coach, blog and run online programs from there.

My husband will still be working for the same company he does now. He is moving to a new and wonderful role and will only need to work part-time which supports his vision of spending more time with the kids, paddling, fishing and generally being more relaxed and connected in the world … whilst still doing an awesome job for his organisation.

 

 

There is a lot for us to do in coming months. Our house has just been packed up to be put on a ship, we have a school year to finish and Christmas to plan for before we go. I am trying to savour all the moments along the way but confess time seems to be rushing by.

Stay tuned …. There are so many stories to tell…

My island swim friends and I are catching a water taxi across to Auckland for the race.
I have been pretty quiet in the lead up to this swim because I wasnt sure I was going to be able to do it (grrr ... injury) but yesterday I decided I was still going to have a go, even if I just swim super slow and gentle.
You see, a beautiful soul I used to paddle with in Sydney was killed in an accident 2 weeks ago ... leaving behind young children and her wonderful husband. Tomorrow her funeral will be held in Sydney.
Tomorrow I choose to swim ... because I can. And I want to really feel gratitude for that fact and send love from the ocean across the ditch to all who will miss her. 💗🏊‍♀️💗
