Working in windy wellington...Americans living in New Zealand

[@rollyrolly7729]

You got one of those days where we get the saying You Can't Beat Wellington On A Good Day

[@tomhu1745]

New Zealand looks like such a wonderful and safe country. I hope to visit New Zealand one day.

It depends on who you listen to. If you take the opposition parties word for it, we are being overrun by brown gang members. In reality, we have the most empathetic government in our history and whoever is against that lacks empathy themselves.

Irish girl living in Scotland here who is thinking of moving to NZ next year for work and is really considering living in Wellington - your videos have been super helpful during my research! Thanks!

[@Kiwiamericans]

Awe awesome! I am here to help you on your B journey!

[@Vurtico]

Im born and raised in Welly and never get sick of that view of the ocean leg of the train ride, especially when it's so calm out!

[@Kiwiamericans]

I know right! Amazing

[@johnjkiwi7818]

Hey Tara. Thank you for the great video. I recommend you drive or walk up Mount Victoria on still night and admire the breathtaking and stunning views around Wellington.

[@wakaroawaata1586]

I was born in lower hutt, but Wellington is a fantastic place on a great day. Great video yet again, thankyou for the walk down memory lane for me Tara, I appreciated it indeed.

[@boomertuxx]

Aucklander here. Love visiting Wellington to see my brothers family. Always good times.... heaps of nice walks... love the hills... even love the wind (it's windy here in Auckland too). I was actually born and bred in Tawa which is a northern suburb of the Wellington metro area between Johnsonville and Porirua. Place is amazing.

[@gissyb1]

Wellington is my favorite NZ city. So fun and easy to get around. Nice tour Thank-you

[@boomertuxx]

same here!

[@shaunmckenzie5509]

Wellington feels like a much bigger city than its population. I like how it's dense and walkable..

[@ruthporter6011]

my uncle drives trains and he lives in wellington. NZ is the best place to live.

[@davidthemod4729]

Loved the trains in Wellington when I was a kid. I remember a conductor in the 80s who played the mouth organ as the train clicked along.

[@AshleyGreerton]

My hometown, and regularly a fun flight in on approach. Wellington is the jewel in our crown.

[@simonlitten]

It's an early spring day - and almost no wind. Train trip in from Melling is twenty minutes. Wellington is a beautiful city.

[@grant4151]

Wellington trains are great. Used them for 21 years. Met my wife on my usual train home. We had our wedding photos in the main concourse of Wellington station. Parking is okay weekdays, but a nightmare on weekends. Best to catch trains into Wellington on weekends. Good to see you have decided top become a Hutt girl 👍

[@Kiwiamericans]

Awe love this!!! Thanks for sharing

[@greggiles7309]

I had two job interviews in Wellington, one at Parliament Library and one at the National Library, it was interesting.

[@Kiwiamericans]

oooh that does sound interesting!

[@TheKL105]

Nice I feel your love for Wellington as I have grown up there and left and realise my heart is there too yep used to travel by train and buses and all that walking around the city was normal and doesn't matter if your born or grew up or new to Wellington the certain charm captures you! Well not for everyone and not perfect like anywhere else but for me the simplicity and beauty that'll do me 👍

[@pisaseala]

that's melling station. probably one of the most congested traffic lights and bridges there is in the whole of Wellington when driving in the Hutt valley otherwise train is great. amazing city and I love it.

[@mohork]

Wow they have improved the trains since 2002, when I was last there.

[@DB-thats-me]

Up. The Hungarian units have been replaced with Korean built ones. More bling, same service. 👍

[@CapitalVideo]

Nice one Tara!

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

A lovely city. Thank you for the video!

[@Ligai4]

No wind in welly, maybe a slight breeze, that's all

[@JdeeReadings]

I go to wellington at least once a year. Legit that New World is my regular every time cause I stay at the waterloo on the corner before I do my thing in the stadium at the other end of the train station. I work there a couple days a year.

[@magesnz]

Been there done that, I miss working in wellywood , it’s an awesome place to live and work, but I’m happy I’m home in south Waikato

[@robert3987]

Wellington's great on a sunny day with no wind but it can be terrible with wind and horizontal rain.

[@rollyrolly7729]

As is everywhere else

[@DB-thats-me]

Auckland has more rain and more ‘notifiable wind’ than Wellington! 😳

[@thrusta100]

Surely everyone knows this by now?

[@boomertuxx]

@@DB-thats-me Auckland may have more rain but I can't stand outside in that Wellington wind for more than a few minutes without freezing solid. It's fun though but I need to hardern up... I spent 9 years in Wellington as a kid.... and 3 years in New York... the winters in both places make Auckland feel like the tropics lol.

[@richardcooper9015]

Great video and you look beautiful and your hair is great.hope to visit wellington someday And then take the train to Auckland.

[@cowardly3348]

"Cobra Kai never dies" 😅

[@Kiwiamericans]

😂😂😂😂

[@RPGabe]

I've found Wellington trains to be pretty reliable. Buses are not! Make sure your shoes have decent grip - sidewalks in the CBD feel slippery when it rains. Other than that, it's awesome to be able to walk anywhere in Wellington CBD in just a few minutes once you get there. Source: American that just moved to Wellington recently.

[@HeidiWruck]

Oh hey! I drive past you every day 🤣

[@barryscott6222]

Hi Tara, Just a thought... Please pan your camera a lot slower - try half the speed you were doing. Less vertigo for the viewer, and you won't wobble the camera so much either.

[@vincentjoyall1450]

Kobra Kai Never Dies!! lol

[@literaticrux8292]

What do Kiwis think about American accents?

[@osip7315]

you would find a trip to "days bay" of katherine mansfield's "at the bay" short story interesting if you read the story it will take you into colonial wellington, make you more "wellingtonian" than most wellingtonians

[@teestees1115]

oh look thats our old trains

[@DB-thats-me]

Those are the newest trains Wellington has to offer. The old ones have gone.

[@teestees1115]

@@DB-thats-me those trains are our old ones from Perth

[@VhenRaTheRaptor]

@@teestees1115 Wrong city. Auckland is the one that used to have Perth trains. We retired the last of them last month. The old diesels.
