4 years ago when we moved from Melbourne to New Zealand
Now with only 25 sleeps until we hop onto our first of many planes and head off into the big wide world of adventure, slight panic has started to set in.
What do we still have to do?
Will the house be rented in time?
Will we sell the car?
What do we pack for over a years travelling?
Where can we find MORE boxes?
What have we forgotten?
Doctors?
Dentist?
Wills?
Insurance?
Aaaahhhhhhhh!!!
Of course all the girls are worried about is “How many more sleeps until we go?”
We should introduce or reintroduce ourselves before we go any further.
We are the Sheers Family –
- Dad
Glenn – a Primary School Teacher - Mum Laurinda – has her own fashion label ‘Mataashi’ which she designs, makes and sells at local markets and online
- Taashi 11yrs old – a Year 7 student at
Orewa College - Matilda (Tilly) 8yrs old – a Year 4 student at
Orewa North School
You will find us at home in the beach side town of Orewa (pop.7000) on the stunning Hibiscus Coast in New Zealand, where we live 50m from the bush, 250m from the beach and a short 10min stroll into town.
We love living in Orewa – life doesn’t get much better really.
It was a big decision to leave our settled life here and head off on a 14mth Family OE around the world. It was also a really easy decision to make. The timing was perfect with the girls schooling and we can both come back to our jobs relatively easily.
Now we just have to be organised and ready with every ‘T’ crossed and ‘I’ dotted in 25 sleeps . . .
