Hi there! We are Vroni and Tomi, a German couple living in a patchwork family, with 6 children.
In summer of 2025, we decided that Tomi would apply for an MBA program at the University in Christchurch. With this, we aim not only to enhance Tomi’s professional qualifications, but also to improve our English over one and a half years in New Zealand, live in a new culture, make many new friends, and of course, gain valuable experiences in a beautiful country.
Our two younger children will join us, while the older ones have chosen to remain in Germany.
In this blog we are sharing highlights and lowlights of one of the greatest adventures of our lifes, thus you can participate if you want.
