They'd never even visited New Zealand before. In this episode, Marc, a type 1 diabetic,  shares the full story. The timeline. The visa stress. and... the hardest part...his wife Kelly's struggle to adjust. If you've ever thought about leaving the UK for a new life, Marc's story will show you it's possible. Even at 47.
