If every time you have holiday at the beach you think ‘how can I just stay here fulltime and escape the rat race in the city’ - today’s episode is for you. 

Dallas and Donna Gurney were two corporate high fliers hustling hard and enjoying city life – when a major life curveball prompted them to re-think everything. 

They chucked in their Auckland jobs to take on a bold new adventure as the new owners of the General Store in Whananaki, an idyllic spot in Northland with a regular population of about 500 people 

They join Nadine today to discuss why they made the move, what they've learned from it, and how a big change isn’t without its challenges.
