Karl B is a member of our private NZ Ahead Community, who recently moved to New Zealand from the US with his wife and young son. On this week's show, Karl reveals 5 Major Mistakes he made when moving to New Zealand.

The Mistakes!!

1. How to handle a USA mobile telephone number when moving to New Zealand for the security of accounts from Banking, Google, Netflicks etc...
2. Not getting Medical sorted quickly enough before moving from the USA to New Zealand
3. The problem of moving a large amount of money from the USA to New Zealand.
4. The difference in Medication brands from the USA to New Zealand, what you need to bring with you.
5. Shipping belongings to New Zealand from the USA and not allowing enough time etc...

If you have been following us for a while, then you will know that we travelled the World for one year with our kids in 2018 and for six months in 2022 by ourselves. While we were travelling, we did a lot of housesitting. We are constantly asked how we did this and if we can share the website that we used. So here it is:
The initial 'looking part' is free.

You can Google all of the beautiful houses around New Zealand that are waiting for YOU to look after them. Take a sneak peek here! https://itsadrama.com/trusted-nz  (As I say, looking is completely free, so gander to your heart's content).
Then, if you are serious about using Housesitting as a tool to travel the world for free (as we do), you can use my exclusive discount code to save yourself 25% by Clicking here.. https://itsadrama.com/trusted-accounts

Still not sure about paying for a Housesitting membership? Remember that the cost of a yearly membership (approx $80 using the discount code above) will be paid back (and more) on the first housesitting night. It really is that simple!
