All migrants are driven by the vision of a new life. Here, we look briefly at how some have realised their vision. The migrants profiled come from all backgrounds and walks of life. Some are recent residents; others have lived there for many years. Some are the children of migrants and came there as teenagers. The range of occupations is equally diverse. Some are well established professionals, others run their own businesses. Some are just starting out in their careers. All are now New Zealanders. We hope these shared reflections on life and living may help you also settle in your new home - to 'live and breathe' in a new and vibrant land.
