A different pace of life, new friends, unfamiliar habits, a change in routines...lots of things. But one of the BIG things that moving to the other side of the world can also bring is the gut-wrenching feeling of homesickness.

Homesickness is very real, very common and absolutely horrid to go through.

Just when you think you have all your ducks lined up in a row, when you have shown the kids every glossy picture of New Zealand mountains and beaches and ice cream, it will hit you. Like a ton of bricks.

Uncertainty. Doubt....
