In 2015,
@becguest and I upped sticks and set off to the UK for our OE (overseas experience). We moved half way around the world to travel and to get some international career experience.

We arrived with a freelance gig lined up on the way over for me, and some teaching supply work sorted in west London for

On the travel front, we’ve clocked up 22 new countries in our travels (including Wales and Scotland) and seen so much of the UK itself. In the next few months, we’ll add another few countries to that list!pic.twitter.com/ua5wyJf1Jx

On top of that we’ve made some amazing friends here and renewed some old friendships. We’ve also been very lucky to have family nearby with my brother in Slovakia and
@becguest’s aunt and uncle just outside of London, as well as many visitors from back homepic.twitter.com/vXUuq15eDT1 reply 0 retweets 0 likesShow this thread -

Last year,
@becguest and I got engaged, and with our wedding now under a year away and having ticked off some major life goals over here it feels like the time is right to move back home to New Zealandpic.twitter.com/c0xYtQpZHC2 replies 0 retweets 5 likesShow this thread
