Residence Visa Approved and preparing for new life

[DrO]

Dear Members

What started only as possibility to something different became reality and I have received news of approval of Visa
I will be leaving UK after 10 years and while I grew up professionally in the UK, I was not experiencing great quality of life

I have not been into NZ as I could not afford the luxury of checking Auckland before going, but I have read about many experiences from members of this forum

I sold my house, car, etc and bought the ticket, I will be flying at the end of September

Part of me feels sad since I will be leaving good friends and colleagues in the UK (I am not from the UK) but I feel that the change will be positive despite the fact that I will be living far

I have the feeling that this will be my last move

Thank you for your helpful advice and contribution

Good luck, change can be sad and difficult, but it's also exiting and reinvigorating. Hope it goes well
