Interested to see if there’s anyone that recently moved from the UK to NZ, or vice versa. What are your experiences with the quality of life in NZ vs UK at the minute? I’m talking overall quality of life - not just annual wage and cost of living.

I’m considering a shift back to the UK as there are more job opportunities for my field of work. I do find there’s a greater variety of cultural experiences (museums, events) in the UK, better opportunities for travelling and short breaks to Europe.

However, I’m worried I’ll miserable there. I left the UK just after Brexit referendum and have only visited once since then, so I don’t really feel like I know my country anymore.

I’m not unhappy in NZ, it’s an amazing country., But the job market is awful right now, and I feel very isolated from the rest of the world - traveling isn’t easy when you have a limited budget.
