Big news for my family: My wonderful husband Fred, who has worked for decades as a PGA teaching pro, has retired! Golf has taken us all over the world, and we couldn’t be more grateful.
After time spent in China, fleeing China because of a pesky little pandemic (yeah, that happened), and a four-year stint in Malaysia, we have returned to New Zealand to retire and, hopefully, purchase a home. We are beyond excited!
Our plan: Visit all viable towns throughout New Zealand, rate them based on Fred’s foolproof ranking system, choose an area in which to settle, and buy a house.
Click the follow button so you don’t miss any of our journey. You an also follow me on Instagram, Facebook, X, Threads, or Bluesky. I am NOT retiring, by the way, so you’ll see lots of posts about writing and illustrating, besides travel.
New Zealand was never on my radar; now, there’s no place I’d rather be. What far-off place would you love to visit?
