Indeed, I think people think moving overseas is a cure-all for their problems, but every country has their issues, and making friends is hard as an adult. That said, Im with you in that I love New Zealand and absolutely plan on staying here!!!! Where are you in New Zealand?

I know what you mean and I am a New Zealander. Found that in Australia, but only through shared interests- a group can make a difference? A couple of friends through work- but just a handful. The rest were low brow.

@@McfreddoI’m thinking to get over that way at some point! 💜💜💜

Why would anyone in their right mind want to move to New Zealand from the U.S.?… Maybe they are one of those crazy anti establishment hippie type who’s running away from something but they will learn very quickly that Kiwiland is not where they want to be!… Hell, even the Kiwis themselves don’t want to stay there!

as a kiwi i think it is hard to make close friends, my friend group is mainly friends from intermediate school. But if you can find a common group like hiking, or bouldering, or something might be a good way to make friends

Awww, thank you for being lovely. My life is rich now, but it wasn't always. I hope the warning in my video may help your transition be easier. The world is for the brave! 💜💜💜

yayyyy! Glad you liked it! I loved making this one. Was cool to think about what its been like living here. Can't wait to have that Kiwi passport in my hand! I have a few land based adventures coming up while I travel to the USA (next week!) and then back to some sailing!! I hope you're well. Thanks for following me over, genuinely. :-)

Awww, so glad you liked it. Younger Daniella needs the advice! 😁💜

Aww, thanks you lovely soul! I appreciate the kind words! 💜💜💜

Dawww. Thanks lady! Glad you enjoyed it. Bucket list item now? 😜 💜

​@@TheAudaciousPaththx for the video. I'm moving from Sweden and I feel that new zealand is the exact copy of Sweden. It's social struggle and depressive good looking environment with a cost of living stress. I think it's a good idea to contact me somehow maybe we can build type of supportive friendship relationship as we expect and need to have in a country that's not ours

@@ReadLearnMove cost of living in New Zealand is crazy! I couldn’t believe NZ is 64th in terms of buying power!

Awww thanks. I’ll have to make another one of these soon! 💜💜💜

I would agree with this unfortunately. it's so hard to make friends unless you do it through the expat community. That said, once I made one kiwi friend, the rest were easy. I think part of that is also stopping the criticism of the culture. I see a lot of Americans who have jus arrived and they are complaining about everything in every conversation, and while they think it is just friendly banter, it's actually subtly demeaning and not fun to be around. Not everyone does it of course, but I have seen it. 💜

@@TheAudaciousPath wow, and I thought this was specific to my expat community. Take my sub and defo keen to see more vids.

Nah, every country I've been in, this happens! Thanks!!! 💜💜💜

Yay! I am so pleased you enjoyed it!!! I have more to come. 💜💜💜

Yah? That surprises me a bit, but also, I think any big love takes a while to adjust. What prompted the move?

@@TheAudaciousPath My then-boyfriend (now husband) parents had moved to Australia a few years before, so the idea was to spend a bit more time with them. It was supposed to be a temporary move for a few years - but the years have a way of getting away on you. Early on we hung out with other kiwi's but over time you do end up making friends with others - it was very slow though.

Yup, that is my experience too. Was unexpected to stay, but now it feels like home. That said, I do have this thought growing in my head to head that way for a road trip at some point once a major surgery is done!

Awwww, yay! Im so pleased to hear you found this handy! Where are you moving to in NZ? What other questions do you have? (I may be able to help you!). 💜💜💜

What do you think of small-town life? I am the other way around... grew up in a small town and moved to a city! I miss the countryside heaps! 💜💜💜

Yay! Glad you liked it. Love this place. 💜

Awww, thanks so much! So glad you enjoyed! 💜💜💜

@@TheAudaciousPath keep at it! i'm sure your channel will grow, you really have a penchant for storytelling

Thanks so much!!!! I went mid day during the week, so maybe that’s why. Hehe, it’s such a random experience with the animals there, but I love it. Happy Matariki to you too!!!

Heya! There is a huge Argentina community here! I’ve been to some parties a few years ago, so once you find those communities, I think it will be so much easier to find friends. Indeed, I lived in Uruguay for a year in 2009(?) and went to Argentina a few times. I even learned Tango! Sending you big hugs for the move! Give yourself time to adjust. 💜💜💜

Awesome, I am so glad you found it valuable! I'm thinking of follow up topics to this, so sing out if you have any ideas! 💜💜💜

Yayyy! Welcome! Sending you all sorts of good vibes as you prepare for the journey! It's a beautiful place! 💜💜💜

Awww thank you! What a lovely compliment! I hope you enjoy the other videos too! And sing out if there is any specific topic I can address for you. 💜💜💜

Heck yah!!! I hope you have a BLAST!!! (and I hope it doesn't rain too much!)

Some places just aren't home. That's also a reality. I think both can be true, and its up to each individual to discern if they've given it a real shot. Sorry to hear that by the way. I love Colorado and its the closest state I ever felt to home, but still did not feel the same as New Zealand.

Heya! Thanks so much! I am so pleased you enjoyed it. I suspect what's missing for people to subscribe is a big overarching goal that we are all working towards, so that's something on my mind to try out. I appreciate the encouraging words! 💜

Heck yah! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!!! I tried to be honest about my experience here! 💜

Yayy! So glad you liked it! It was a fun one to make! Ha, I have to agree with you 99% of the time, but I am super stoked to be heading home TOMORROW!!!! Indeed, I am still considering a trip later this year. :-) 💜💜💜

Awesome! I am so glad you enjoyed it! I totally get what you're saying about prices. that said, when I sailed about Marlborough Sounds and Akaroa areas, I found prices to be much higher than Auckland in terms of food. Housing prices were definitely lower, but so was income! Is your experience that buying power is still higher on the South Island? Hoorrray on the move! At least you're moving from one cold place to another. Definitely give yourself plenty of time to adjust before making any decisions on whether or not to stay! Making friends as an adult is no joke! Thank you thank you for your kind words!!!!

Queenstown is alot more expensive than most parts of Auckland so thats not entirely true.

Queenstown's a outlier in most ways though - I try to avoid it if I can. Everything is more expensive there

I lived in Quebec sometime ago. The people are wonderful, Québécois is hard to learn, old French, very guttural and full of slang. I was working on a farm not far for Joliet. Hated the snow and the wind that blows right through you. Never been so cold in my life. Wishing you all the best, l know you will fit in well having a partner to help you settle.

@@libbysevicke-jones3160 in some ways I miss the cold of Colorado, but the steady weather in NZ is so lovely! Hope you’re both well! Happy weekend!!!

Dawww, thanks so much! I’ve been meaning to make this video for a while. Glad you enjoyed!!! 💜💜💜

What part of New Zealand are you in

I’m up on the North Island, Auckland, most of the time but often out adventuring! 💜💜💜

@@TheAudaciousPath weather there isn't so good is it I'm in Napier and we have just got the heavy winds you've had stay safe i enjoy your videos

Dawww. She is a sweetheart, aye. 💜💜💜

Do it! Would love to see you here!!!

Awesome. Thank you so much!!! I loved to Nz in 2016, so in my adult years. I love the diversity in where you have lived. Variety is the spice of life, aye? 💜💜💜

Heya! I love New Zealand! I can’t wait to officially call myself a kiwi! It was definitely hard to find mates in the first few years, but I’m lucky to have a solid group of friends these days! 💜💜💜 Absolutely will post on the community tab if I’m headed your way! I love Whitianga! I’ve sailed in there many times. :-)

Awww yay! I’m so glad you enjoyed!

I feel that, and that is completely normal. I think it really helped that I have lived in multiple countries before living here so I had an idea of how it felt to live in other countries. I'd also lived in multiple states in the USA so had an idea of what was available to me if I went back. I think there are two things that ultimately made me stay though: watching the nastiness of the politics in the USA versus the elections here. While NZ and any other western country have a lot of similar issues and extremism in their elections, I really appreciated how people interacted. Generally speaking, it is very important to build rapport with someone here before you ever discuss politics, so by time you get to that discussion, there is a level of respect established that allows you to actually HEAR opposing opinions. I don't feel we HEAR each other in the USA when it comes to politics. Very quickly after meeting someone, everyone throws out their political opinions and then decides if it is worth investing any effort in each other. Thats a generalisation of course on both sides, but my experience nonetheless. The other thing that convinced me to stay here was going through the medical system with an extreme medical emergency (my ex almost died). While I'll be honest that there were HUGE GAPS, miscommunications, and mistakes made, overall, it was WAYYYY less stressful than dealing with the US system. No paperwork, no talking to insurance. I can't emphasize enough how much that reduced the stress load. But you do have to be very proactive here and take personal responsibility for double checking things and doing your research. For me, that was less stressful than talking to insurance. Hope this helps! 💜

Indeed, I have made friends through rock climbing and hiking, but they are all expats! The only Kiwis I've met are through Amnesty International and dating! 💜💜💜

Heya! First and foremost, thank you very much for the kind words, and I am so pleased the video resonated with you! The public health care system is designed to cover emergencies. It is slightly overwhelmed, and the care is good, more or less so depending on the issue. As an American, I find the care to be on par, but the element of being covered by taxes and having no bills was HUGE for me. That said, I supplement the system with my own private health insurance. Many decide not to do this, but I think I would recommend insurance if you can afford it. If you cannot, I think the system is sufficient and the care is still good. I'm thinking about doing a video comparing and contrasting adventure activities available in the USA versus New Zealand. Interesting to you?

Thank you so much for this lovely review. I supppppper appreciate it, and I am so glad you found value in it! If you think of any follow up topics, sing out, as I'm thinking to do another one like this!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜

Heya, I think being aware that loneliness is inevitable is the best way to help yourself adjust. Prepare for that. Let your support system know. Also, I am so glad you found value in this video. 💜💜💜

The good thing about NZ is that there is so many solo travelers there (I think aha) so there is more opportunities to meet people in the same situation. I am probably going there late september too so feel free to get in touch :D

@@jeromemenoret1421 There definitely are a lot of solo travelers, but they are young. The travelers in their 30s are all couples from what I've seen. Late September is a great time, but still rainy! It starts to warm up around November. You'll definitely miss the traffic of travelers. So excited for you both!!!!! I hope your experience is good!! 💜💜💜

Same! Once all papers are finally out (🤞🏼), this 30-yr old will be flying in to Welly from the Philippines and I’m only beginning to get nervous. aahhh! Hope we find good friends in the new upcoming chapter. Cheers!

@@pauaquino3950 That will be a blast! One of the MANY countries on my bucket list!!!!! Would love to hear your experience when you arrive! Sending you heaps of good vibes for the transition!!!

Yay! Thanks! So glad you enjoyed! Coming here or already here? 💜

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed! 💜💜💜

Not too far from me! Indeed, I love this country, albeit I am realistic that it is t perfect. I just posted part two to this video this morning! The Reality Check: 7 years in New Zealand (almost a citizen!) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kMqhncma3rrSm5c.html

@@TheAudaciousPath will have to check it out 😁✌️ yeah everyone is super close here. I moved up to Auckland to study 10yrs ago and then 4 yrs after I moved my old neighbours from my home town that use to live across the road from me moved two doors down from me, I was shocked going what are the chances, but here in NZ they are rather high

@@RedDeadPandaGaming hahaha…. Yup! I’ve had similar things happen to me so many times. In some ways I hate it but in others I love it.

So glad you enjoyed the video! Can’t verify this absolutely, but I’ve heard that finding a job in the country is one of the things that gets you more “points” when applying for a visa in NZ since most people find jobs in the city. 💜

@@TheAudaciousPath oh wow, ok I should just try. I want to take a leap of faith and move beyond my comforts and particularly explore the possibilities, exposure and rich experience life in general has to offer.🙏

@@user-in8hu9yt2h we only get one life. Just make sure you are realistic about the adjustment period. 💜💜💜

I am so pleased to hear you liked this episode! I actually have plans to start looking around New Zealand more for a potential spot to live in once my face surgery is done. It's time to get out of Auckland! Where are you at now? 💜💜💜

Yay! I am glad you enjoyed it! I do have plans to eventually get over there and explore. Might I ask, what makes AU better for you? 💜💜💜

Awwww, sending you good vibes for the move! That's a big deal!!!! 💜💜💜 It's interesting some of the items you have put here. My experience working in government is that some of these stats can be put down to the reporting. Having traveled extensively traveled around both NZ and the US (including recently), my personal experience is that NZ is doing better in most areas, and it feels safer in NZ. What's prompting the move home? 💜💜💜

Hehe, love that your bestie is Kiwi. They are such good people. I love loving here. It is all so unexpected though. Feels so far from home as my trip home (next week) approaches, but then it feels so natural to be here when the rest of year goes by. So far, Fiji is top of my list because the islands are just so magnificent. But within NZ, I’m a huge fan of Coromandel. It’s so close but such different terrain. Have you been to NZ? 💜💜💜

Thank you so much! I technically have another 6 months until I qualify to apply, but I will have my application ready to go as soon as I can!!! And thank you for your kind welcome. 💜💜💜 You are one of the wonderful souls who make this place so wonderful.... the humanity that still exists. 💜💜💜 I have a road trip with a friend in the works right now, and the majority of it is down South. I am so excited!!!!

gotta hit milford sound it is nuts!! and in the summer time the Abel Tasman walkway is insanity , westcoast has some nutty land and stuff too with rain forests etc.@@TheAudaciousPath

I have plans to see Milford this summer. I’m actually doing a whole road trip with a friend this summer for three weeks, so some good videos to come!! 💜💜💜

woo!@@TheAudaciousPath

I feel that. It's not for everyone, and having lived in 6 countries throughout my life, none of them felt like home until New Zealand. Maybe you just haven't found your home yet. You deserve to be happy. Trust yourself. 💜💜💜

Heya! Unfortunately I can’t answer this for you, only you can, but I think it’s important to get real about your expectations. I’ve never been to Otago myself, but I know it’s one of the colder places of NZ. The University is know as a party school. There’s a lot of history there. Trying to think what else I know, but I hope this helps a bit. 💜

Thanks so much! I’m so excited to be able to call this place my home! 💜💜💜

Heya! So glad to hear you found it to be an honest opinion - that is definitely what I was going for, so good it comes through! I love your home country too! Thank you so much for welcoming me!! 💜💜💜

Awww, what a lovely thing to say. Kiwis are such lovely people! 💜💜💜

Awww. Thank you! Such a lovely comment! How long has the GF been in NZ? 💜

Awww, thanks so much for your kindness. I moved around for years hoping happiness would find me in one of the spots, but reality is, I had it IN me all the time. 💜💜💜

It is! Mostly because the shipping is so expensive and half of my packages get lost!! 💜

@@TheAudaciousPath oh I see, another question if you don’t mind answering… is it legal to live off the land (in the wild) in New Zealand? And is it legal to build a house somewhere far and isolated? like on a hill or something?

@@AriesLantzer I know it was legal to live off the land in some parts of the South Island in the bush, but the laws around this are quickly changing. Most land is owned, a lot of it by the Māori, and to the best of my knowledge, you always need a permit to build a permanent structure. 💜

@@TheAudaciousPath alright thank you sooo much you saved me hours of research 💙💙

@@AriesLantzer of course! I will always help when I can! 💜💜💜

I so hope you make it out here! It's amazing! If you sail here, make sure you do the trip south. Most sailors never do, but having done it, I would say it's worth it! That said... apparently anyone who learns to sail here first is crazy! haha. 💜💜💜

Indeed, great advice about committing. It’s so hard to know if it will be a good fit until you arrive, and it also depends on where you are coming from. For me as an American, yes, I make significantly less, but I also get tons of public benefits I don’t get in the states. I also really just agree with the culture here, whereas I found myself misaligned with a lot of US values. That said, I’ve never lived in a perfect place, so you just have to choose what’s most valuable for you. 💜💜💜

@@TheAudaciousPath We're all not around for forever so its 100% important to spend your time where you are most happy. I plan on hopefully returning one day when the time is right. I've traveled a lot and it's the only place that's constantly on my brain. It definitely takes a special person to make the leap because you're really detaching yourself from the rest of the world. Although it has everything you would need and then some its location is pretty isolated. Contacting people back home can be difficult due to the time change. I'm from Eastern Canada so literally the other side of the world. I was in my early 20's when I went so it kinda sucked at times too meeting people you really liked but they were moving on eventually back home as well. Best of luck on your stay! Enjoy every minute. Super jealous 😂

@@jared2232 yup. All truths you write here. For me, my biggest tie here is my values align. But also, my whole family is spread out, so where would I go to in the US anyway!?

I lived in Uruguay for my last year in university. I studied at Universidad Catolica. I loved living there! I traveled all around the country! 💜💜💜

@@TheAudaciousPath Cool!!! Glad you enjoyed this small piece of land between two giants. Keep rocking in NZ. Spent one year over there and i absolutely loved it. Do a favour to your soul and travel as much as you can all around the two islands. I can give you some tips and places to visit if you need inspiration. Best regards!!

When I was working in humanitarian assistance, I worked partly in an office and remotely plus some time travelling to our projects overseas. Now I work for myself! 💜😁

Heya! It depends if you mean the region with the most sunny days (Napier) or the region with the most days that are warm (Gisborne) or the region with the warmest winter (Northland). Honestly though, the biggest issue is finding a home that is insulated and has double glazed windows so you’re warm inside. It can be only a little cold outside but it’ll feel freezing if you can’t keep your home warm. 💜💜💜

I hear you, and you're not the first to say that. I can't speak for my own experience as Ive never lived outside of Auckland, but what I see on the expat Facebook groups is that its even harder to make friends in the smaller towns. That said, the exception is expats with kids, as they are able to meet other parents through their kids. 💜💜💜

YES! Indeed! I don't even look at the temperature really....I look at the wind speed! yayy on moving here! Are you South Island or North Island? 💜

@@TheAudaciousPath Haha absolutely spot on. Always check the wind first! I’m in Christchurch and find the weather quite mild all year round compared to my home town but sweet Jesus is it windy! Lol

I've heard Christchurch has good weather, and surprisingly, Gisborne!!! 💜

Heya! I had a wee double check of these facts, and it seems indeed, Wolverine fur can freeze. However, various features of the fur make that very unlikely, hence a common belief that Wolverine fur does not freeze. 🥶 💜

I knew you could live and work there, but I didn't realise you can become a citizen too!!! 💜💜💜

Not sure if you are implying that I bought citizenship, but having worked with refugees for many years, I can tell you that the system is most certainly biased towards money, good health, and high education. Do you think you’ll ever come back? I’ve seen a big wave of people leaving after COVID. 💜

@@TheAudaciousPath oh no I wasn't implying that, nah I won't come back, love that you love it though, very nice to see.

@@thedappercook I forgot that I mention Peter Thiel! But yes, it is very much biased. I appreciate the accountability that a small country has required of people. I can imagine as a kiwi, it may have driven you crazy when the judgment was wrong, but coming from a place with limited accountability, I think it keeps people kind and humane. 💜💜💜

Hi, sorry, this is beyond my scope, but I recommend you check out seek.co.nz for job opportunities and the NZ immigration website for visas. Best wishes! 💜

Awww. Maybe I will. I got here here in NZ!!! Her name is “Pivo” in honor of my time in eastern Ukraine. 💜💜💜

Awww, welcome to the channel! I hope you enjoy! 💜😘

It was more green than I’d ever seen it!!!!

I lived in Donetsk Oblast for 2.5 years. Ukraine will always have part of my heart! 💜 My tattoo with "herb"? Not sure I understand here!!💜💜💜

@@TheAudaciousPath oh, the name for the Emblem of Ukraine in Ukrainian would be “herb” (“gerb”). 😉 I’m so glad to hear that you’ve enjoyed living in our country!!

@@oryna6078 ah, gotchya, I did not know that. I got it in some random guys living room in Donetsk. 🫣🤣💜 Indeed, the friends I made there are friends for life. It is real sad they are now spread all over the place, and some I have lost contact for months now.

It’s both a good and bad thing. Having been flown to Hamilton for a hospital visit, I much rather the quick access of the nearby Auckland hospital. And there’s tons of sailing opportunities here. But yah… plan is to get out of Auckland as soon as I can. 💜💜💜

Come check out Tauranga it's a beautiful place and lots to do.

Dawww, thanks! So glad you’re enjoying them!!!! 💜💜💜 any adventures you want to see in particular?

I feel that. It’s not an easy country by get into without special skills or a job in advance. 💜

I’ve visited Queenstown, sailed through the Marlborough Sounds as well as Akaroa. I know there is so much more to see though!!! 💜💜💜

Having lived in Finland, I can second that. 😳🫶 In a different way though. Finnish people are just so quiet compared to Americans…. But when June came around, BOY! The whole country came alive! 😅💜

I feel that. 💜💜💜

Thank you! Not sure If I said this before, but I got it in a guy's living room in Donetsk! 💜

It is a wonderful place! 💜

There’s definitely heaps of things I don’t like about Auckland, but my experience comparing it to cities of equal size is that is actually quite nice. Way more green spaces! 💜

Hehe. I wouldn’t disagree, but only if there can be more than one #1! 😁😁😁

That’s true from what I’ve seen. The kiwis I’ve worked with are very particular about what work is worth their time. Less time on admin and bureaucracy. That said, I think part of it is the privilege of being from a small country with smaller businesses, and then by time kiwis go overseas, that work ethic is in their DNA. Hope you get to come home sometimes! 💜💜💜

🤣🤣🤣🤣 awesome!

It depends on your income level, but he really, yes, it’s hard to buy a home. I believe you have to be a resident before you can buy property, you’re generally looking at 20% down minimum (unless you qualify under a few schemes for low income or first house), and the average house price in Auckland at least is over $1million. For most people, it’s pretty unattainable. That said, there are still hubs of NZ with reasonable prices if you don’t mind living more rural. 5 dogs! Oh my! Sending you positive vibes for the transition. Give yourself a long time to mentally adjust. 💜💜💜

I've been to the South Island many times. Even sailed the South Island and circumnavigated the Norh Island by land AND sea! :-) So much sasss!

New Zealand is said to be part of the Oceania continent or a submerged continent called Zealandia. 😁💜

💜💜💜

Yah? I do have a friend who moved to Auckland from Opua, and they say the same. But I think kiwis who stay out in their same place of birth have strong friend groups.

I think it greatly depends on where you come from, which is your reference point, and also what your values are. I love it here, but I always tell people to be realistic. Everywhere has their issues. When you headed back? Netherlands is definitely on my list!!!! 💜💜💜

75% of lakes and rivers ! You obviously don’t spend any time outside in NZ. This is such a stupid statement

Where in nz have you spent time? Because that description suits auckland and Hamilton, other than that, you are pretty off base (aside from leaky houses and wages)

So so true. I would much rather be here than a lot of other places, but the Netherlands seem to be a big step up from NZ in my opinion.

Awesome - byebye…

For the top income bracket, aye, but for my bracket, it is much higher here in NZ! 💜

My whole family is from PA. I was near Scranton in July. One of the few US states that feel like home every time! I am sorry to hear what you and your wife are going through. Sending you both heaps of good vibes and remember that looking out for yourself is what will keep you sustainable as a healthy support for her. 💜💜💜 I have it on my list to get to Abbey Caves, but haven't yet made it out. Are they worth it?

Intereting! I don’t remember seeing that but it was many many years ago! 💜

@@TheAudaciousPath It is small.

Thank you! It's a wonderful country! 💜💜💜

Haha, I love your enthusiasm. Hehe. NZ is great, what part of the country are you considering?

Haha, as a sailor, it still feels quite far!!!! 💜

Indeed, that is true. I don’t think people realise how lonely it can be moving overseas. They assume their bestie will be there for them, but distance and time zones make that difficult. It’s just not the same. 💜

@@TheAudaciousPath I've lived in 3 countries at various times of my life. It was tough moving to London in my early 20s, but I was young and I was working and that got me through. No social media to ease the loneliness in those days and hard to phone home. I remember my first Xmas sitting on a stranger's staircase dialling home, trying to get through because so was everyone else living away from home. Then with a young family I lived in Australia. It was easier to make new friends there because my children provided avenues to new friendship with other young mums, but I missed my family and I missed the benefits extended family could bring to my children. That's why we eventually came back to NZ, my home town, but I had changed and my old friends hadn't. The older you get the harder it is to make new friends, and the older your kids get, the less they want you around, so you have to go it alone. I was back with my extended family, but initially not as much an integral part of that group as I used to be. I agree with you; it is very important that new immigrants to any country come with a realistic view. The locals will be friendly, but they won't go out of their way to include you. You need to make an effort to get involved. New friendships take time. Your original friendships didn't develop over night.

It's definitely on my mind. I plan on doing a road trip this summer to check out a few spots. Unfortunately though, I am tied to Auckland for a bit, as I am on the waitlist for a jaw surgery to correct the malocclusion in my teeth. 💜💜💜

@@TheAudaciousPath nice one you would love Nelson ❤

One of my most favourite places I’ve visited! And super dog friendly!

Yup, think you’re right about that. Seems a housing crisis is part of our future for a while. 💜

Yah? I still need to get over there. I’ve briefly been in Sydney. 💜

Heya! It depends what your goals are and what you are looking for in your move. If it is simply to have the biggest possible community from Africa, then Auckland is your bet. The North Shore is where a lot of South Africans live, and out west, I've seen a lot of Northern African shops. Hope this helps! 💜💜💜

🤣🤣🤣

It’s interesting that you say that, because the latest Gini Index Score from the OECD (wealth gap score) shows France is is 29.2, Italy is 33.1, and New Zealand is 32. So NZ sits right in between the two. You don’t mind the crowds? My experience in Europe is that it’s harder to get away from people! 💜
