 Memories
Of Piha New Zealand ~ On
The Wild West Coast Of New Zealand ~ by Stephanie Giordano - Before
every winter's arrival I sense its presence. I feel the bitter chill in
the air, and the familiar scent of snow. At first it’s a welcomed phenomenon.
The idea of bundling up with plush blankets and hot cocoa sounds appealing.
This feeling, however, is short lived for me. After a few snow storms,
when I can't feel my nose and toes, and I'm so bitterly cold that by the
time I get inside I'm sweating from moving so fast, I remember how much
I miss summer. Actually, this year, I'll remember how much I miss Piha.
Piha, on the wild west coast of New Zealand, will become my recurring destination
as an escape from New York winters. Nov./05 |

 New
Zealand ~ The
Final Chapter…For Now on New Zealand ~ by Rick Adams - Packing
up everything you own including that “I just can’t live without this keepsake
from the Clinton Presidential Library” and moving to the other side of
the world is a big deal. For some it’s a very big deal. For others it’s
just another stepping stone in the pathway to life’s adventures. Whatever
the case, trust me; putting the wife, kids, cats, dogs your laptop all
on a plane all at the same time and hoping for a shred of sanity by the
time you settle into your newly adopted country is, well, wishful thinking
at best. Aug./05 |

| Escape
To New Zealand ~ And
Beyond - Real Estate In New Zealand - Living In New Zealand
~ by Susan Rogers - We landed in New Zealand true immigrant style. When
we left for New Zealand, known as the land of the "Long White Cloud", we
allowed our family of five just two bags each. One was for clothes and
one for everything else we wanted to bring to this "new land". We had no
jobs, no relatives, and knew no one. We left everything we had known in
the US including a large house overlooking San Francisco Bay, good paying
jobs, cars, computers, furniture, friends and family. (This decision from
two people with advanced degrees!) For us, moving to the South Pacific
has been the best decision we ever made. Aug./05 |

 Chapter
9 ~ Getting
Ready For The Big Move ~ by Rick Adams - For those Americans, particularly
those Americans living in the “blue” states that realize that there is
life beyond the city limits of your town and in fact outside of the United
States, you may be considering your options. Could life be better elsewhere?
Is it possible to work and live in another country? Are there actually
other countries that don’t think Americans are a few bricks shy of a load…rowing
with one oar…or that their elevator doesn’t go to the top floor? Is it
possible to leave your native country and still be happy, nay, even happier?
We say “yes!” (We also rarely say “nay”.) We’d like to suggest considering
New Zealand as your new home. My wife and I left the comfort of our big
American home, our big American jobs and our big American cars for a new
life and we think you can probably do it too. |

 New
Zealand - The
New Silicon Valley Suburb ~ by Ruth Carlson - If any place knows
the next best thing, it must be Silicon Valley, home of the computer and
Internet revolution. So when I kept hearing about South Bay residents moving
to New Zealand I had to investigate. The buzz started with my neighbor
Kristi Ford, a marketing executive who said she was giving up her career
to become a yoga instructor in New Zealand. Shortly afterwards I heard
that Bardon, a winery owner, had purchased a place in Christchurch to live
in half the year. Then I toured a house on the market, because, you guessed
it, the couple was moving to New Zealand. |

| Traveling
And Staying Healthy ~ Working
On Organic Farms In Australia And New Zealand ~ by Stephanie Giordano
- When I first decided to take an extended journey away from home, I knew
I would be faced with the tiresome dilemma of what to do with all my stuff.
I quickly decided that "stuff" was meaningless in the grand scheme of life.
But I didn’t want to give it all up. I wanted to keep my favorite books,
my practically new Swedish foam mattress, and all the things I had collected
since college. I couldn’t afford a storage unit (could barely afford to
survive the 6 months I'd be away). When I thought about it though, six
months is nothing. I mean, I wasn't spending seven years in Tibet. Oct./05 |

Sporting Lodge For Sale in New Zealand - Luxury
Sporting Lodge For Sale in New Zealand - Imagine a place uncrowded
and safe. With no snakes. No poisonous spiders. No bears to
interrupt your fishing. With a climate second to none, set on a group
of Islands in the South Pacific known by the Maori name, Aotearoa.
Where the people are kind and considerate. Said by some to be the
most beautiful country in the world, and by others, as “God’s Own”. After
eleven years of successful operation as a unique, world renowned sporting
lodge, and much soul searching, the owners have decided to offer this exclusive
estate for sale... When Mick Mason told us about it, we decided
to feature it as a sort of thumb-nail sketch in the Quarterly. |
