Hi everyone, Please welcome with me Melissa Cox, who moved from the United States of America to New Zealand 10 years ago with her husband, 4 suitcases and 2 guitars. Melissa is a former journalist and non-profit writer who recently published her first book called "So, you want to move to New Zealand". Her book is a great guide for Americans who consider moving to New Zealand, but it is also very interesting for everyone else who wants to move to Aotearoa, or wants to learn something about both countries. You can find the book here (discount price): https://melcoxmusic.tunepipe.com/move-to-new-zealand/book We are talking about the reasons for her to move to New Zealand and about some of the real disadvantages of being an American living in a different country (taxes, banks and more). We touch on questions you should ask yourself before making the decision of moving or not and about the sacrifices you need to be willing to make. Are you really living the American dream? Or have you grown up believing in it without fully understanding what it really means?... Are you an American and want to leave the country? Are you wanting to move to New Zealand? Are you wanting to learn more about the idea of living abroad? This episode is for you :) Feel free to connect with me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hanna_worldwide_and_friends/ or email me under: [email protected] You can find this podcast also under its own website: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2110137 or on Spotify, Apple Podcast, Google Podcast, Podcast Index, iHeartRadio, Podchaser, Deezer and PlayerFM Thank you so much for being here again!
