Greenville to Santiago: Why I Left the United States for Chile
Should You Do It Too?

Should You Do It Too?
On May 31 to June 1, 2012, I moved from Greenville, South Carolina, to Santiago, Chile. My belongings, loaded onto a container a few days before, were already on their way.
I’d left a part-time teaching position as an adjunct at a public university. The job was as stable as such jobs ever are, with at least three courses per semester for very low pay. I’d asked for a salary increase since I’d been there seven years, and was turned down. I chose to walk away.
“Why did I do it?” is a common question I receive—and “Why Chile?”

And Why She Remains an Expatriation Destination

And Why It Remains an Expatriation Destination to Consider
To write this article breaks my heart a little. The reality is that, after returning from Boston University, I did not want to leave New Zealand—at least not on a long-term basis. Despite the consistent trend towards negative net-migration to New Zealand, I suspect many fellow expats share my sentiment.
I reminisce days at Raglan Beach, the Bay of Islands, and the Coromandel Peninsula with my family. When I return to visit, I still love to run the hills that surround Te Akatea Station, the farm where I grew up near Ngaruawahia. The Waikato River also gave me many enjoyable summers of rowing training, and I loved to race on Lake Karapiro.
