Bridget Romanes is the visionary principal of Mobile Relocation, a consultancy that aids people in the complex process of moving and settling into New Zealand life. Born and raised in New Zealand herself, Bridget's early life was anything but ordinary. Her father, a mountaineer who ascended the Himalayas with the legendary Sir Edmund Hillary, infused Bridget's childhood with a spirit of exploration and a global perspective. Her home often buzzed with intriguing guests from various walks of life, enriching her understanding of the world.


Tune in to hear how the allure of New Zealand's community and breathtaking landscapes could be your family's next chapter on this episode of Adventure Calls.


From a young age, Bridget's vacations were a tapestry of experiences that spanned trekking in Fiji's rugged highlands to sailing across the azure waters of the Maldives. These adventures weren't common in the seventies and eighties, setting Bridget and her family apart as uniquely proactive global citizens.


It comes as no surprise that Bridget, influenced by her unconventional upbringing, would eventually carve out a niche in helping others navigate the life of an expatriate. Today, she intertwines her rich heritage of travel and cultural immersion with her professional acumen, serving as a guiding force for those embarking on their own journeys to new horizons. Bridget Romanes is not just a name but a synonym for cultural fluency and the passion to make the world one's home.

Perceived Social Liberalism and Safety in New Zealand: "once they get here, they do feel safe in a way that they haven't felt before." - Bridget Romanes
