After a year, we are finally settled into New Zealand. I decided to share my candid and exhaustive notes in hopes they may be of help to others: https://www.charlesherring.com/new-zealand-move-notes
New Zealand Move Notes | Charles Herring
BackgroundOver the course of a year from November 2025 to November 2026, Mai and I researched and eventually moved to New Zealand. We were looking for a life change and my work at WitFoo needed to plan for international expansion. My extensive notes are found below. AdvisorsOur move was made much easier by a few advisors. I am pretty good at paperwork and research and thought of doing it myself to save some money. I ended up feeling that all 3 of these advisors over delivered on value and made our move much more successful.

It was great having one more Cubs game before heading off to New Zealand. The only thing better than the game was the company.
I've pushed some updates to the ArtiFish code repo to allow RAG database (Cassandra & Chroma DB) creation & inference, using Internet data enrichment in inferencing. I've included Unsloth optimizations to allow finetuning & inference from home/gaming/cheap GPU's. https://github.com/f15hb0wn/ArtiFish
A great day touring Dunedin. It's a beautiful city near the bottom of the world.
