Armes Family
Nicki Chapman catches up with the Armes family, who were divided over the prospect of moving to New Zealand. One year after their trial week in Auckland, where are they now?
Teo Armes had always dreamt of emigrating, and was the driving force behind a potential move to New Zealand for his family. For wife Amanda, however, things weren't as straightforward. She struggled to come to terms with the thought of leaving her parents - and life - behind in the UK.
A year ago, the Armes spent a trial week living in Auckland. Amanda seemed to be won over by the lifestyle opportunities in New Zealand, but did they make the move to the other side of the world?
