The Kelly family from Aberdeen love the outdoor life Scotland gives them - weather depending! They now wonder whether New Zealand could offer such a lifestyle all year round. On the face of it Gilan and Hollie have it all - a nice big house, a successful outdoor adventure business and an especially loving extended family. Now in their late twenties, however, they're asking themselves whether they're living to work or working to live. Together they have decided that New Zealand could be the answer. But with their two boys reaching a crucial school age and baby number three on the way time is of the essence.\n\nSo what is holding them back? Family, of course. In particular Gilan's dad, who Gilan has recently got back in touch with. And for Hollie - with her only brother having already emigrated - she would be leaving her mum behind with no close family in the UK.\n\nThey have been to New Zealand before, but it is a totally different experience for them this time as they set off on their journey, because at the end of it we are asking them to make a final decision on which side of world their future lies.
