Expat Tales: 'It's easier to have the nicer things in life' in the US

Expat Tales is a Stuff Travel series featuring Kiwis who’ve made new lives for themselves overseas. If you’d like to take part, email us at travel@stuff.co.nzWhat inspired your move, and how long have you been there? It's much easier to have some of the nicer things in life here compared to in NZ. The Children’s Museum is one of the best in the country and there is also a living history museum. Americans work really hard and there is more pressure here to get ahead.
