Yay! I'm so glad you're doing a New Zealand series, I don't even need to watch it because I'm a New Zealander but I'm going to because I'm excited ♥️

[@DaneAndStacey]

Glad you're excited! Hopefully we make you proud to be a Kiwi

[@tabigardiner2792]

Ohhhh guys, this has made me homesick! I'm from Warkworth/Matakana but living in London and everything about this vlog made me go 'aw'. Omaha is my favourite beach to walk and i always stop at the little stall that sells mandarins lmao. My Dad built the Brick Bay glasshouse, my partner built the outdoor bar there and also asked me to be his girlfriend there 5 years ago. Making me nostalgic about my home. Love it and hope you enjoyed the area!

Welcome home you two!!!Enjoy the dry summer while you can! Can’t wait to he inspired by you guys!!!

My favourite KZbinrs doing a tiny home tour - a dream come true! Looking forward to other NZ vlogs as well. It's beautiful.

[@chrisemery1338]

Welcome back to our little slice of paradise! Thanks for capturing and sharing our beautiful country in true Kiwi style. 🇳🇿😍

[@DANandNAK]

So cool to see you guys explore your own backyard ☺️ can’t wait to see more!

[@DaneAndStacey]

Nice to hear you guys are excited to see more!

[@davidgross9321]

Finally! New Zealand... Show us more, it looks fantastic. Can't wait to see more. Thanks in advance.

[@DaneAndStacey]

Cheers David - lots more NZ to come! Finally.

[@Talias1234]

My family and I sometimes drive up to Cable Bay pass Monganui bay maybe twice every one to years. We are lucky to have family that lives up there

[@DaneAndStacey]

NZ is all about the family and friend connections to get to the best spots!

[@jls7159]

The first time my fiancé and I lived on our own together was in NZ back in 2014!! We used to live in Island Bay, Wellington. We miss eating at Bays Takeaways and HELL Pizza! And we had the best view of the water from our tiny studio we rented from a lovely family. We toured both islands and some of our faves were Zealandia, Hobbiton, Rotorua, Waitomo, Christchurch, Napier, Franz Joseph! Aloha from Kauai! 😁🤙🏾🌺✨

[@DaneAndStacey]

Interesting! Island Bay is a lovely spot in Welly - good choice. Hope you're loving life in Kauai now.

[@BrandonWilling]

I'm from New Zealand but I'm living in the US. And I'm just like you, I went adventuring in another country before travelling my own, lol. I miss fish n chips so much and the pies and blue V energy drink. Following this journey because it reminds me of home.

[@DaneAndStacey]

We hear ya mate. Weird how that happens but seems common. If you miss fish n chips maybe don't watch the video we just uploaded haha

[@francescadiana]

I'm so happy to see you'll be showing us more of NZ! Chances are very high that I'll move there this year and I've never been, so I AM STOKED THANK YOU

[@DaneAndStacey]

How cool!! We'll show some South Island as well and you'd have a good feel for the differences

[@Shaun_Garratt]

Glad you guys are finally exploring your home country, a really beautiful place. That tiny home looks great, definitely more spacious on the inside than it looks from outside. The ice cream looked lovely, worth the seven dollars I think. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

[@DaneAndStacey]

Deceptive isn't it, so much going on inside. Glad you're enjoying the vids, next one just came out :)

[@LozsLeisure]

Time to get stuck into this series. I can’t wait 😍

[@karinandhenward]

We love Brick Bay - such a cool spot! The walk is totally worth it - it's quite long and really cool things on the trail.

[@VanTasticTraveling]

Love to do that trail once.

[@DaneAndStacey]

That's good feedback! My sister took her kids and they treated it as a treasure hunt, everyone loved it

[@dhyzer719]

Glad that you’re back to Aotearoa 🇳🇿..Looking forward to watching your NZ videos.. Cheers!👍🏻

[@DaneAndStacey]

Salamat!

[@SweetHopeCookies]

Oh wow, New Zealand has now gone from being off my radar to being on my bucket list. Wonderful video as always and looking forward to more from NZ.

[@DaneAndStacey]

That's nice to hear! We feel like the videos and experiences will just keep getting better, so you might have to move it higher up your list 😀

[@bobguenther6658]

So glad you’re doing a series from NZ. Didn’t get to see much from the one you did. What a beautiful place!

Looong over due!

Thank you Dane & Stacy for touring us on your home turf! I'm loving it! Much love from Manila Philippines ♥️

Great vlog... you two are just so excited - lovely to watch and so much more to look forward too :)

[@DaneAndStacey]

❤️ So proud to show home!

[@martinc.720]

I loved this video, and I can’t wait for the rest of your NZ series! It’s not a bias, this is truly one of the most beautiful countries on Earth (I haven’t visited yet, but from pictures and videos I’ve seen...)

[@DaneAndStacey]

Sounds like you're already convinced! Think we might just confirm it for you in the next lot of videos ❤️

[@jennykiely4598]

Yay! A NZ tour! Really looking forward to this series 😊 When I was a student I was kind of obsessed with NZ bands, but I think most of them were in Dunedin. So that’s just one reason why I would like to visit NZ some day. Until then, I’m living vicariously through you guys!

[@DaneAndStacey]

Oh really? What were the bands? Would be funny to hear...

[@jennykiely4598]

Okay...I was a *huge* fan of Bailter Space, who were The Gordons before that. Love them! Like many NZ bands, I think they moved to NYC. Who else...The Chills, The Verlaines, Straitjacket Fits, Alastair Galbraith, Tall Dwarfs, The Terminals, pretty much anything on Flying Nun or Xpressway Records. I am yet to see the film about Martin Phillipps - think I’ll have to order that, because it sounds great! You guys are younger than me though, so this may all be before your time...🤣. So, I’m hoping you go to Dunedin when you get to the South Island, just so I can see what it looks like 😊

[@dylanlewis3668]

This couldn't have come at a better time! starting my two week north island road trip on the 8th!

[@VanTasticTraveling]

Have fun!

[@DaneAndStacey]

Nice! We've got 4 videos filmed from NI, 1 more just came out. Hope you have an amazing trip

[@melaimoncatar]

Never biased! Thanks for showing how insanely beautiful NZ is. Well glad you are doing the NZ leg of your trip. Before I started my SEA trip, I traveled the PH islands as much as I can. Showing you some stalker love from your avid fan in the PH stuck happily in VN 💖💖💖💖💖

[@DaneAndStacey]

Glad you enjoyed it! We would happily be cruising around the islands of PH right about now ❤️

Reminds me of western michigan. Beaches, cute towns, wineries.

[@DaneAndStacey]

Oh really? We gotta do some research on Michigan then

[@indylaura99]

@@DaneAndStacey yes! Look up New Buffalo, St. Joesph, Saugatuck, Holland, Leeland, and Traverse City. Wineries, breweries, distilleries. Fruit farms. Also look up dune buggy rides in Saugatuck and Silver Beach. So much to do!

[@tally1604]

If it weren't so isolated and so expensive - for real estate especially - I would move to New Zealand tomorrow. Such a beautiful country. And such nice people. And the accents give me a linguistic hardon.

[@DaneAndStacey]

Its a shame we're so expensive, especially after most have to take on such huge price tags to get here in the first place!

[@raypich8292]

Welcome back home! It is beautiful. I like cool climate. New Zealand is on my retirement list besides Costa Del Sol Spain, Brisbane, Australia, and Cambodia. The tiny house is very nice. Awesome Video!

[@DaneAndStacey]

That's an awesome list of retirement potentials!

[@aaroncostello2984]

Awesome.. finally you can show off NZ the kiwi way,the place i call home even though i live in Hong Kong at the moment.. awesome vid.. bring it on team.

[@DaneAndStacey]

Thank you! Hope we don't make you too home sick

[@RexWaldron]

Now this is going to be a special series. Firstly, it is already apparent from this video that NZ is a stunningly beautiful country. Secondly, hearing your assessment of your home land is going to be super interesting. One question - have your extensive travels around the world had the effect of making you look at your homeland through fresh eyes? Even 2 - 3 weeks away from the UK always makes me re-appraise home, so I can only imagine what your level of travel might do!

[@GraceP356]

Yay!! I come from kerikeri, but now live in gisborne!! I use to drive to the Cape all the time, you guys have to check out Takou Bay and Matauri Bay, that's my family land and the beaches are pristine and so beautiful 😁

[@DaneAndStacey]

Ahhh good ol Gisborne - hope you're loving it there!

[@GraceP356]

Yes it's just as beautiful as the bay of islands. Come do a video where the sun rises first in the world!!!😁

[@twotravellingfoxes4928]

Love the new Vid guys! Can’t wait to see you guys explore more of NZ. Definitely makes us a bit home sick and desperately wanting a good NZ pie 😂.

[@DaneAndStacey]

This one pie we ate, we're jealous right now that we're not currently eating it haha. Enjoy the vids, lots more to come!

[@jenniferfesperman3577]

Love you guys and all your videos. So happy you're doing a New Zealand series because it's at the top of my bucket list. Just curious as to what brand sunglasses you have? I saw them on Flying the Nest and now you both have them and I love them.

I see what you mean about New Zealand & Scotland looking so alike! I could easily feel at home down there, especially with those beautiful, deserted beaches! Just like Scotland! 😁

Its always the case of hardly ever exploring where you live! I moved to New Zealand from the UK last year (living out at Parau) but its made me realise I've seen so much of NZ now but hardly anything of England.. but its only a plane away :) new subscriber here. ♥️

[@DaneAndStacey]

So true. England is bloody beautiful as well, I don't think a lot of Kiwis actually realise - they think it's just London. But Devon & Cornwall etc were breathtaking.

Maybe you've not here right now (last time it properly rained in Auckland - 5.2mm was mid January) in the Nth of the NI but it's certainly not raining, there is a total fire ban from Waikato to Cape Reinga; however if you've in the SI you may be trapped at Milford Sound in the floods, or on the West Coast between Haast and Franz Joseph...also trapped.

Haven't been to Omaha in many years!!! Looks likes it changed lots...I was fascinated with the pink sand...was that still there??

Hi! I wanted to ask you where you find the tiny homes that you stay in? They are so beautiful and unique! We will be coming back to NZ in a couple of years and wanted to stay in some tiny homes, but I don't know where to begin looking. Are they listed on AirBnB, or is there another site in NZ that lists them? We will be traveling around the South Island this time. Thank you!

Why travel anywhere when your roots are in New Zealand ;) Just kidding! Lovely vid guys, thanks for sharing your home country.
