    Question Australia or New Zeeland? Place to Live, Work and Raise a Family

    Hi guys,

    I am planning to relocate from Canada/US either to Australia (Sydney or Brisbane) or New Zeeland (Oakland) to work and leave there with my spouse and kids for about year and a half - 2 years, may be longer if we like to stay there. I've seen some of domainers here from those two countries and wondering if someone do not mind to answer few questions off-line or if you have any thoughts or resources to share with a potential migrant - please feel free to post them here.

    Thanks

    It is a great move, you won't regret it. The two worst places on earth to bring up a child ? United States and Africa.. Any other place will be ok

    If you're planning to raise sheep there is no place better than New Zealand.
    There is a good reason why kids growing up in the Midwest can't wait to run away from home, say, to LA or NYC

    africa is a pretty big place!
    im sure places in the US and Africa are wonderful to bring up kids. just not that many

    add the UK to your list. sucks

    btw, goog luck DNP
    one thing worthy of note, i know a number of families who moved to Australia. all moved back. to come back to this hole, the UK, that says something
    i also know a few families who have gone to NZ. they're still there

    but the place you're moving from. well the Brits who moved there I know, can't take the smile off their face. they LOVE Canada. I'm sure you will return. if for a couple of years, have great fun and adventure. great for the kids too

    LOL. You are right about the climate unless you are in British Columbia. Yes, medical is mostly free but you will die before you see the specialist so I prefer to stay healthy and do not visit them that ofthen... buy you never know...

    Nah, you heard wrong, it's Domainoslavia actually, we changed the name a few times recently... You should checkout domaingang.com more often, they write about us almost every week...

    DNP, although I can't say anything specifically about New Zealand or Australia (other than I can show you where it's located on the world map so you can know where you're going ), I hope you get settled with your family without any issues, wherever you decide to stay.
