Patico19 and Marshalleq each write from lived experience and careful research.

Marshalleq has spent extended time living in Colombia and Australia, on top of a lifetime in New Zealand. Elsewhere, he researches — official data, and the accounts of people who've actually made the move.

Patico19 has spent extended time living in New Zealand, Australia and the UK. Elsewhere, her writing is her research or her lived experience - never summarised from someone else's work.

This site is what their two experiences add up to, checked against the record wherever they can't speak from it directly.
