Living with the Big Orange Bridge

We’re moving! There was even media coverage about it – my 2nd ever mention in the NBR!

But now we have visas, it’s all a bit more public – hoping to relocate in about 3 months. A different kind of exciting to New York which obviously tops all levels of exciting but very very cool to be in the centre of Xero’s entry into the US with the set up of an office, search for new staff and getting our brand and product out there. If I was to be honest, probably 49% exciting, 51% scary! Still SO many details to be worked through – still have to untie some of the red tape tied and knotted tightly around the visas and work permits and figure out all that other stuff we don’t worry so much about in NZ like how do you see a doctor, personal insurance in case someone trips over your bag at a cafe and sues you, social security, driving, paying for water etc etc so watch this space!

But thanks to our recent trip, there is decent coffee to be had, we’ve met some nice people and the site of The Big Orange Bridge does thrill me 🙂
