James Griffiths left New Zealand in 2002 with his wife and two children - then teenagers, in order to give them the rich overseas experiences he'd had growing up. He'd visited Switzerland a couple of times in the 1990s and always liked it. Today, James works as an independent sustainability advisor in Geneva and is more than happy with his lot, despite the high cost of living and the fact he still misses his fellow countrymen and women.
