Hi,

my name is Peter and I am initially from Germany. I came her on recommendation from another user. I don't even know her nick here. She is a friend of mine and we met in a German forum about New Zealand.

We moved to New Zealand 8 years ago and are meanwhile settled on a small farm north of Auckland. This farm is currently for sale. My wife posted something about it in the Real Estate forum. Her name is j.cool! After 5 years of small farming we want to step up a notch and get into more serious farming. I work from home as a programmer and I love it. I wish more companies would be willing to offer this to their staff. It is great and works for me. I look out of the window and see our sheep grazing and at lunch I stroll around the farm and enjoy the views, play with the dog etc. I am so more productive this way.

I hope I can contribute to some of the questions here. I also wondered if there are more Germans her. It seems to be heavier on the UK side. Ahh yes, talking about UK, I am a keen crafts brewer and just love the UK beer styles. I do a lot of Best Bitters, Milds, Stouts, Pale Ales - you name it. But also some German beers like a German Wheat.

Cheers

Peter

I wish that was the case too...might get to see OH for at the breakfast table if he could do that occasionally!

Hi Peter,

I recently joined on the idea of moving to NZ for a few years of international work experience (IT).
German, but currently living in Austria.

Could you - or anyone - please point me to that German NZ forum?
I really like this one and already found loads of valuable information, but once it gets to typical German or other non-native-speaker topics, a German forum might be of more exact help.

Thanks,
Jan

Hi Peter

I am a passionate homebrewer (kits and full grain) and a programmer...yes and I am in the process of migrating to NZ - possibly Auckland. It's good to see that there is at least one other "sofware brewer" in NZ. I am glad you came to this forum.I will be talking to you in future.

Welcome

Welcome to the Forum.

My OH has gotten into home brewing since we moved to NZ, I think he is on batch number 4 at the moment. His blog about his brewing and one day dream of owning a pub is www.electriclandlord.co.uk
