About

We’re so glad that you found us!.

The founders of ‘NZ Ahead’ Liz and Brian are looking forward to you joining our community of like-minded adventures on this amazing journey to living in New Zealand. But most importantly we have always been optimists. Like any other couple, we have had loads of challenges, some personal, but mostly financial, yet we have always held true to our belief that if you really want to make something happen, then you’ll do so.

We have spent the last thirty years (gulp) chasing after one adventure after another. We have been accused of many things over the years. Being butterflies, of not being able to settle, of upsetting the apple cart. Lots. But guess what? We’d rather be butterflies than worms. How about you?

Welcome to NZ Ahead!

Hello there! We’re Liz and Brian, your go-to guides for all things New Zealand. Over 15 years ago we packed up our lives in the UK, scooped up our two small kids, and embarked on an adventure to the beautiful land of the long white cloud. We’ve never looked back, and now we’re here to help you make your dream of moving to New Zealand a reality.

Our Journey

Back in 2009, we took the leap and moved our family to New Zealand. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. Since then, we’ve been soaking up the incredible landscapes, friendly culture, and relaxed lifestyle that New Zealand offers.

We started NZ Ahead to share our experiences and all the invaluable information we’ve gathered over the years. Whether you’re pondering the move, already packing your bags, or have just landed in this amazing country, we’re here for you every step of the way.

NZ Ahead Community

One of the jewels in the NZ Ahead crown is our vibrant Slack group. This isn’t just any Slack group—it’s a bustling community of over 300 professionals and like-minded folks all sharing their journeys about moving to and living in New Zealand.

Imagine this: people from all walks of life coming together, exchanging tips, advice, and support. From immigration advisors to healthcare experts and job coaches, our community is packed with professional insights to make your move smoother.

But, it’s not just about the professionals. It’s about being part of a tribe that understands your hopes, dreams, and a few of those pesky fears too. We’re here for you! plus the conversations, the stories, the laughs, and yes, sometimes even the tears as we navigate this big adventure together.
