    Welcome to New Zealand, I hope you enjoy your stay here. One of the things I love about living here is no deadly snakes, spiders, alligators, crocodiles etc.

    Good luck in NZ Anna. I came across your channel today, and I am amazed how nice, beautiful, talented and interesting you are. You are so easy going and friendly with the people you talk to, presenting the different cultures skillfully to the viewers . You are very talented in filming, you manage to make very artistic documentaries out of these filmed conversations. I come from Macedonia, just south of Serbia. Привет и Бог вам дал здровја и счастија.

    I love all visitors to visit my country. Whether you like it or not. If you dont like it, leave peacefully and no comment. We kiwis love the way we live. Its how we are. I dont want anybody to come here, dont like the way we do things or things we eat, or how we live and make bad comment about my country. Like i said, if our life style doesnt suit anyone or cost of living just leave. Thank you. Ima a kiwi and i ❤my country.

    Hi Anna it’s early Saturday morning in the Yarra Valley Melbourne Australia. I absolutely love it here,it’s home. I feel after 20years I can be called a local. I’ve embraced the people, nature and lifestyle that surrounds me, which wasn’t hard to do. That has been the essence of my existence along with some fortune which if lucky enough you might find in NZ. I stumbled across your video and I don’t often sit for 30mins watching a person I don’t know giving an informative description of their experience and new found love for a country, but I did and it gave me goose bumps. And what’s really beautiful about your story is you have captured the essence of why you are there and that is why I think you will enjoy your stay. NZ and AUS have the most friendliest people in the world and yes I am a proud Kiwi married a proud beautiful Aussie woman and with our child we will never want to live anywhere else. Thank you Anna. Tena Koe.

    I lived there for 15 years and went back to europe. Not even a nuclear war here would take me back to that country. For an european white male, NZ is really really bad. For a Russian woman, you will soon realize your looks will get you very far. NZ women are mostly obese, so like many russian girls I studied with, it wont surprise me if you go down the same route of meeting a rich kiwi guy and settling there for good. The biggest downside of this is that you might eventually realize that NZ is a very overrated, its a depressing lonely place (think Belgrade and multiply it by -1) , but your partner from NZ will never want to leave to go somewhere else, not permanently. Good luck in any case, but my advice is, do the sightseeing and move to Australia if you already made the choice to be all the way down there.
