Then why Kiwis moving to Australia and UK?

Why doesn’t she want to move? Scared of change or something else? You sound like someone who would make a great addition to Aotearoa. 🍔🇳🇿😺

Aint quite the nz experience if you havent had seagulls pestering you 😂 Glad you enjoyed youre time here bro

Thank you Oliver, it was very interesting to see your experience and opinions of my country - your closing words nearly made me cry. It's not often that a country can have that effect on someone, so I hope you do come back and see if it works out - good luck for whatever the future holds for you.

Without seeing the South Island you haven’t seen New Zealand. You saw the Auckland tourist part only. I’m not a South Islander; just go places NOT on the tourist map. It’s stunning and the people are amazing.

Missed the mainland

If you think you love the north island, you haven’t seen anything until you have visited the beautiful South Island. So more picturesque…

I wish all kiwis thought this highly of our beautiful country. Come if can bro, we'd love to have you.

Welcome cuzzie! Pita pit is just subway in a pita bread. You were about 100m away from KiwiKai, you could've had hanging bro.

Born and bred nz been every where in the north (not everywhere) never ever been down south and im 47, im a kiwi and haven’t seen my own country like wtf

Which 25 countries have you been to?

If this is truly how you feel about our country, then come home, bring your son home. Pack up your life in England and move here.

Is it true that ALL NZ BANKS DO NOTaccept any foreign or domestic checks anymore... and that all incoming funds have to be sent electronically ???

my great great grandfather immigrated ere when they were colonizing Australia and NZ and im glad he did 4th generation South Pacific Islander and im reasonably content. Havent really missed out on that much. All the stand up comedians come here eventually, all the big bands come here eventually the giant stadium is being built in Christchurch now 2nd largest city in NZ located in South Island and simultaneously a massive court theeatre is being built in town for live shows and plays. I dont feel im really missing out on much living on this pacific island above the Antarctic.

You also wont find a safer place to raise your kids, either. You hear stories about how this place is safer than this place, and that place even more so, but the most dangerous things we have here, are a couple of spider species and general sea-life youd expect around the region. Anything else is just general knowledge of "dont do it" like play around what few cliffs we have, or going out into the bush without knowing what youre getting into. Hell even our gang members would be ride or die for you as long as youre respectful. Being from here though, im a bit jaded towards what we have to offer because ive seen it day in and day out so cant appreciate it as much as someone from the outside could, so im glad youre able to see everything we can offer, and in just a small corner of the country no less.

You went to Tauranga and did not go to Mount Maunganui. What?

Funny as kiwis we like to rant on about how stuffed the country is and then a foreigner comes along and says "OMG absolutely I want to move here" I blame the Gummint :-)

I have never been out of Australia but Tasmania has direct flights to New Zealand so maybe one day I will get there

Glad you loved our little country. I have to agree that you really need to see the Sth Island. Its also gorgeous but in a completely different way than the North island. Just a quick tip, in maori the stress is usually on the first syllable.....so its TAU rang a, rather than tau RANG a. We have our issues down here, just like any country, but ill be honest, i really DO think we live in the best country in the world for a lot of reasons.

I Think for most people triping around New Zealand is its not just its beautiful scenery but being able to go somewhere like a beach etc and theres not many people about ,take off your shoes and go barefeet and feel the energy around you ,man made footware not God ,we have disconnected from the energies of Earth by wearing shoes

Yeah kiwi land tends to do that to people 😂

5:05 you never fail to amaze me

As kiwi new zealand is expensive, South island is cheaper to live, the big city are expensive, so greatful to live in the south island there is so much so see

You are part Ukrainian, aren’t you?

I did not know it would even possible to go border crossing like this so easily. Australia and New Zealand do not have land borders of course .

Just do it bro...EMIGRATE. There's no better place in the world to raise kids. Every kiwi kid can swim, build a fire, ride a bike offroad, change sparkplugs, read a topomap, catch fish, climb mountains, raise a sail, etc...

Beautiful. Glad you enjoyed your trip.

So do your dreams not think your dreams and move to NZ . I did 20 years ago and don't regret nothing only wish I had done it sooner

You didn’t see Aotearoa without visiting Te Wai Pounamu (the South Island).

I Keep Forgetting England picked a fight with Russia and lost that's why your money's worth nothing.

WTF is this? AI? Someone better ring MPI about that huge fucking crocodile he spotted.

needed this as a kiwi :D cheers

lol ;D WOW

WHAT ! You went to Rotorua without investigating why it smells? Volcanic thermal activity. Pleased to hear you loved NZ. Look forward to future videos as you record your move here permanently

I live in a rented room in a house with three to five other guys plus the two evil landlords. I wish I had the money to buy a small car or van and live in it. I only have a part time job that isn't steady work.

NZ is bigger than England by land mass, You can keep your population though, Glad we're where we are, to far for illegals to rock up in rickety boat's,

As a kiwi, spent 6 months in the UK, loved the history. But the food was average and even though it was meant to be summer the weather was shyt :). No matter where in the world I went, was alway glad to get back to NZ. We think we have problems but in the big scheme of things they are trivial. Unlike other countries we don't have to stand in line for hours for water, our houses are not bombed, and we generally don't go into poverty for medical reasons.

Glad you enjoyed, if you though the north island was great, checkout the South Island next time, tis breathtaking, honestly😊

Come on back anytime bruv. Love the video and the external perspective on our country

You have to explore the South Island. If you think that around the North it is beautiful, and it is, then the South will simply blow your mind.

Come back soon. Loved your video. Merry Christmas to you and your family from me in Hokitika, West Coast, South Island, New Zealand

New Zealand is my dream destination ❤

32 and so far only 7 Countries. Goin to the UK next year tho

South Island is where it’s really at for scenery. Visit there and you’ll never want to leave. It’s like a completely different country compared to the North Island.

And you only saw a small part of the country. Did you know that our seagulls can live to 50 years old? Or something like that I was amazed, now I’m 70 so hopefully I haven’t told any porkies!

Just stumbled across your video! Well first of all so pleased you visited New Zealand and sad you only stayed for two weeks! But glad you visited New Zealand! please do visit again soon, I know you will love to spend more time here and as you said, raise your kids here in New Zealand such a great place to do that! Yeah so much stunning landscape and scenery and wonderful people! Ah yeah Whangarei and the Whangarei Falls are pretty cool! So amazing you went up to Paihia, ah dang you should have visited more of the glorious beaches in the Far North, for example Matai Beach and it's next door Waikato Bay, (also the Karikari Peninsula), Taupo Bay, Cable Bay with its stunning and synonymous golden sand, you will have to do this next time! So much to do in Auckland so next time too! Hope you had time to chill at Hamilton Gardens, so many stunning international and themed gardens they have created there! Plus also visit the nearby Raglan and Bridal Veil Falls! Yeah Taupo is great, The Two Mile and Four Mile Bay reserves are stunning! Yes Cathedral Cove in the Coromandel is a must. As is Mt Maunganui a must do trek to summit! Love Mission Bay and yeah Auckland Zoo, the staff there have done an amazing job there! Please tell me that hotel you had at the 5:20 point! Yeah Piha a good beach and you were sort of close to a movie set. At the nearby Bethells Beach, Taylor Swift filmed sections of a music video there; Karekare Beach was where scenes from The Piano was filmed, also Cathedral Cove where Narnia Prince Caspian was filmed too! Glad you conquered your fear walking around the Sky Tower, yes next time you're in New Zealand with the Sky Tower! if you think the North Island is amazing - you will be blown away in the South Island with Queenstown and Milford Sound and many other places where the Lupins flower and that glorious church and of course That Wanaka Tree! Yes, please do make New Zealand you're home; you have so much more exploring here to do so hope you do visit again soon!

Sounds like you went for the cheapest work possible

Our food isn't cheaper than England though... surely not.... It was about 10 years ago now, but I do remember going shopping in England and it was dirt cheap compared to NZ!! You just have those stores that bring the prices down, Aldi, Lidl.... we can't compare.

wow that just made me feel a bit lucky to live in Taupo! glad you liked it. it's hard to lose sight of NZ being a bit of a safe haven in this crazy world.

Gosh if you were that taken by the North Island, the South Island will blow your mind and render you speechless. So glad we left such an impression on you :) All the best to you and your whanau (family) xx
