Within six months of arriving in New Zealand on a working holiday visa 10 years ago, Erin Klatt knew she wanted to make the country her home for good.
Klatt was looking for “somewhere different to be” for a variety of personal and political reasons when she left the US in 2016.
“So when I came to New Zealand, it just kind of all clicked,” she said.
A decade later, at 34, Klatt officially cut ties with the United States.
Earlier this year, just before the US State Department reduced the fee to renounce US citizenship by about 80%, Klatt paid the then $2,350 price and read an oath renouncing her US citizenship.
She had experience with dairy farming in the U.S. and found a similar pursuit in New Zealand. (CNN)
Others left the U.S. because they didn’t like the direction of the country.
