Jordan Heron's Journey from the UK to New Zealand: Embracing New Beginnings at Lumino the Dentist and Navigating Professional Transitions

What drives someone to leave the familiarity of their home country and start afresh halfway across the globe? In our latest episode, we sit down with Jordan Heron from Lumino the Dentist in Wellington, New Zealand, as he shares his riveting journey from Hartlepool, UK, to the stunning landscapes of New Zealand. Jordan reveals the pivotal moments during the COVID-19 pandemic that spurred his decision to move, the obstacles he faced with paperwork and postal delays, and how he utilized YouTube videos to choose his new destination. His story is a testament to the resilience and adventurous spirit required to make such a bold life change and showcases the immensely rewarding outcomes of taking risks.

We also delve into his professional transition from the NHS to private healthcare in New Zealand, highlighting the increased flexibility, reduced risks, and lower indemnity costs that come with the move. Jordan provides a fascinating look at the differences in patient care and the overall impact of location on practice workload. Hear about his professional growth, the warm reception from his family who visited him, and his plans for the future. This episode offers invaluable insights for anyone contemplating a similar journey, and Jordan encourages listeners to reach out for guidance. Tune in next year to catch up on Jordan's ongoing adventure and future plans.
