Hi all,
Been doing some soul-searching recently and I'm a little torn as what to do next.
Love living in the Highlands but the way things are going I'm having to broaden my horizons, need more space to live and explore and the UK is starting to feel a little small and over-regulated.
Industry jobs are thin on the ground, ones with good prospects and long term employment are basically spoken for beforehand or not even advertised, quite the closed book in most cases.
Don't feel like living on year to year contracts anymore, need some security and something to aim for, not just staying afloat.
I'm inspired by Scots who were forced to venture overseas by either ambition or circumstance. Sure, thousands sadly fell by the wayside but look at the few who made it in the new world, no risk no reward.
A possible contact for a farm job in NZ has come up and I'm waiting for more details to come through before proceeding.
Would really appreciate input and advice from guys who have lived or worked in NZ, the lure of the place is very strong but I'm aware that the grass is always greener on the other side of the world!
Have exchanged PM's with a few NZ guys on here who have been nothing but positive.
Cheers!
