Genuinely my favourite KZbin channel now. I leaving the UK in February to travel (Australia first) and the amount of knowledge I have learned from this channel alone is incredible.

[@DainLuka]

ahhh thanks mate!!! such a nice comment 🤟🤟 Enjoy AUS!!

[@marccarva]

Really enjoyed the natural flow of your videos - it feels like we're right there with you! Love how you've incorporated everyday moments so seamlessly. I still struggle a lot doing that. Anyway, good luck with your next adventure and yes, Australia is amazing but there's a whole world out there to explore too, best of luck!

[@DainLuka]

Ah thanks mate!! Such a nice comment to receive :) just have to find a way to frame the mundane things in life!

[@louisaklimentos7583]

You did an excellent job producing all your videos on your travel experience in Australia . You will be missed here in Australia but it is great to hear that you are going to New Zealand now . The scenery there , especially the South Island is mind blowing . You will absolutely love it there . I will still follow your adventures in New Zealand and I can’t wait to watch your videos .

[@DainLuka]

Thanks Louisa for always watching and commenting, love to hear your thoughts!!! I'll be back in Australia soon I feel 💛

[@vivgrant9538]

Welcome to New Zealand. I hope you have an awesome time while you are here.

[@DainLuka]

THANK YOU 🙏

[@lorenzlorenzo1975]

Good luck with planning to come back to Oz.

Awww thank you mate 🤟🏼

Thanks Dain..

Thanks for watching !! 😎

[@nataliehargrave2605]

Similar situation to me. I've been in Sydney since Sept and need to wait til July to apply for my second year (which'll then start in September). Trying to convince employers that, yes, I promise I'll get the second year visa sorted halfway through my fixed-term contract is HARD. Definitely still a privileged position to be in, but you really do have to jump through hoops.

[@DainLuka]

You really do. Australia just feels like constant visa stress 😅😅😅 but so worth it! Hope all your visa goes well!!

[@kikoandoy]

OMG Dain, i know how this feels. I’m leaving Tokyo for Melbourne for my WHV and I’m anxious as hell to move out here and settle there for jobs and accommodation. I’m glad im not alone on this journey and I hope the time in NZ helps you go back to Aus long term!! Thanks for all your other videos too i referenced them for my move too! Quick question though did you consider a partner visa? I was curious why you missed on that early on the video and always heard of it as a popular option too.

[@DainLuka]

I think its all part of the process aye!! It's been two months now and I've loved my time here in NZ so far. I'll be back in Aus soon :) good luck with your move!

[@filipesantos6071]

Heey, did you move already? I am also going to Melbourne for my WHV

[@kikoandoy]

@@filipesantos6071 Yup just moved last week! When are you moving here? :D

[@filipesantos6071]

@@kikoandoy how is it going over there? I am moving in October :)

[@kikoandoy]

@@filipesantos6071 It's cold now and should be a bit warmer when you get here!

[@modfus]

Jeez, Winter in NZ - enjoy the rain😛LOL, I'm sure you'll have a nice time there.

[@DainLuka]

I've been lucky so far only a few days of rain in the last two months!! Thanks for watching :)

[@jasheey5708]

I hope you enjoy your time in NZ while you sort the 3rd yr visa. I'm sure you'll have an awesome time but it must be really hard leaving somewhere that makes you happy. Would love to hear about your time in NZ as well, i'm currently in the process of selling my house and then hope to go travelling, starting in Australia (from the UK). Also, would love to know your thoughts on travel companies in Aus? I'm looking to do 2months with Welcome to Travel as this is my first time travelling solo, have you ever done something like this or have you always just planned yourself? Good luck with everything!

[@DainLuka]

Thank you for watching :) oooooooh thats exciting. So I initially did the east coast back in 2020 - booked all my tours through Happy travels - haven't done the welcome to travel tour but heard good things. You can definitely do it on your own - theres pros + cons to each! I usually plan trips with the friends I made when I first moved to aus haha utilise facebook!!

[@therealkylerb]

Bro, I thought you were gunna come visit me in Canada haha! I guess that's a little far for you eh? But no, NZ wasn't a surprise because I watched this after seeing it on your IG😝. All around great video though. Your videos of you just going about your day are some of my favourites.

[@DainLuka]

I WISH. One day I'll make it to Canada. I'm from the UK so NZ is even further haha. Thanks for watching :)

[@adiohead]

Good luck in NZ!

[@DainLuka]

Thanks legend!!!

[@Cambs95]

You're lucky you have an online job, we had to leave Australia last month and we're now just waiting back home till July 1st 😂

[@DainLuka]

Ah i'm sorry that happened guys!! I couldn't recommend remote working enough - gives you soooo much freedom 🙌🙌

[@FPLMattDay]

Love your videos mate. Where did you prefer living Perth or Wollongong? Both look awesome

[@DainLuka]

Thanks mate!!! ooooft I personally love Wollongong. Its a rugged coastline of rock pools and its just a vibe!! I liked Perth but I didn't love it. The beaches are nicer over there but I prefer the gong haha! are you considering moving over?

[@FPLMattDay]

@@DainLuka thanks mate, I have heard cliff side beaches and coastline is awesome in that part of NSW! I’m in Melbourne myself mate but have been watching your channel and thought I’d get your thoughts on both, have yet to go to the gong !

[@DainLuka]

@FPLMattDay Melbourne is great! Was just there recently. Give me a shout if your ever up this way 🕺

[@FPLMattDay]

@@DainLuka will do legend!! Keep up the good content, your Madeira video has made me want to go there !

[@laa_urren]

You’ll be back before you know it! Any advice for folks who are really struggling with the homesick, jet lag?

[@DainLuka]

Just keep busy :) To beat Jet lag - Just dont sleep the entire journey and go to sleep in the evening when you land. Sounds crazy but I've done it a few times and I always skip jet lag hahaa

[@yvonneandbeyond]

You leaving Australia is so bittersweet! 😭 But change = opportunity and I know you're already making the most of it in New Zealand. ;) Cheers!

[@dindarizka6599]

I do experience this right now, everything we can think about how to extend the visa. Also, the competition to get job for 88 days right now is scary. I have 5 month left, and still can't find job for extend my 2nd year visa. Everyday try to apply any farm and factory but still in waiting list they said or sometimes it scam job. I hope everything will turn well for me.

[@DainLuka]

Ahhh I’m sorry to hear that I hope something pops up! Have you tried looking at other areas ? I know Rottnest island counts and north west Aus ! Seen a few cool jobs that way :)

[@kadeharris4309]

I really hope new Zealand has a similar lifestyle as Australia but yeah you never know whenever you do decide to come back Australia it possible that it could change and even make it an enjoyable return back to Australia. but yeah enjoy new Zealand have and be safe out there you never know you could walk into something.

[@DainLuka]

Thanks for watching!! after being in NZ for a month can confirm the weather is very different haha!

[@rebirth88]

which Katy Perry album?! and good luck in NZ Dain!

[@DainLuka]

Just "This is Katy Perry" on spotify haha!! Thanks Dale :)

[@jsan9389]

I thought you was going to move to Coventry 😅 joke this is my plan I have heard so many good things from new Zealand will you consider a whv in new Zealand?

[@DainLuka]

That would have been a total curve ball 😂😂😂 - Yes I applied for WHV in Nz untill I go back to Aus !!

[@jsan9389]

@@DainLuka oh sorry I thought you meant on a tourist visa it would be cool to see that I wouldn't know where to start on a whv in new Zealand

[@OzPozzy278]

Nice video, but why exactly New Zealand? It's pretty much isolated

[@DainLuka]

Good question! I didn't want to go to far from Australia as I have some plans there soooon. :)

[@purplechickengames]

nooooo way im so sad , that you are doing this

[@DainLuka]

Thanks for your support!!!

[@bsways]

Ive lived in Australia my whole life and never have i wanted to leave more than now. Honestly youre better off getting out while you can. This place is a financial prison for a lot of people. The government and taxation department are draconian and oppressive. Sure the weather and beaches are beautiful but barely anyone even has time to enjoy them because they all slave away to pay mortgages or rents. Bad policies implemented by greedy corrupt politicians have ruined what was once a very relaxed paradise. Im moving to south east Asia soon for a more affordable lifestyle. I’ll miss the beauty and climate here but Australia’s glory days are over. It’s no longer the 'lucky country'.

[@tamarasolon2055]

I spy Oriental Bay 👀 welcome to Aotearoa!

[@DainLuka]

YOU spotted correctly!! thanks for watching :)

[@goldenace8847]

Do you want to permanently move to Australia after you don‘t feel like travelling anymore?

[@goldenace8847]

and love the visuals, you can tell your appreciation for cinematography

[@DainLuka]

THANK YOU!! The long term plan is definitely Australia. I just need to find my way back there. Thanks for watching!
