Finding a place to live in Auckland | Saving up for Van Life in New Zealand E1

We arrived in Auckland and have to find a place in 10 days before we become homeless. Our goal is to save up €10.000 euros in 4 months to buy a van and make our dream to travel New Zealand in our own van come true.
We are viewing some apartments and find out it's way harder than we expected to find something. WILL WE MAKE IT?
Here's how you can support us! 😊
- Subscribe and like this video so KZbin will pay us a little bit for the van
- OR buy us a coffee with this link: buymeacoffee.com/gioyawillems
Everyone who support us with a coffee ☕ will be mentioned in our next video. And of course: we will be forever grateful! 🙏🏼

Nice to come across your channel....Your video reminds me alot of many familiar places...I was in NZ 2 months ago...I love it but it is quite expensive like u said.....

Nice having you here! Hope you'll enjoy the series a lot. If you have any recommendations then please let us know! We're planning to do a weekend away in two weeks and still need to pick a location not to far (3h max) from Auckland.

It rains alot for a short time in Auckland! Yeah going out for dinner is about $100 same as melbourne or sydney, good choice cooking at home. Boycott airbnb ! Most airbnbs could be rentals and the market is shocking. You will struggle to find a 6month lease and no negotiation is very normal. For example my rental the landlord uses half the double garage and walled it off so I only have room for tools not a car.There are L300 or Hiace for $12k on marketplace. New Zealand overall peaked in 2000s-2010s it is now unaffordable and ridiculous.

We really don't mind the rain and are so happy with the weather so far. We unfortunately don't feel like having another choice then an airbnb. Thank you so much for so many good tips! We plan doing a trip next week by rental car and are very excited for it!!

Please please don’t drink Starbucks in nz. There are soooooo many great cafes and coffee roasters here to support.

[@gioya.willems]

Yess that was honestly the last time! We didn’t even like it that much 😳 do you have a favorite coffee cafe in Auckland?

Saving €10.000 in 4 months? Damn that's crazy! I'm trying to save €6500 in next 2 months to quit my job. All the best!

[@gioya.willems]

It is! But also very motivated to work towards a goal like this. Good luck to you as well!
