Hi Jos, great video. You made some interesting points. Looking forward to the next video. Nice hairstyle by the way 😊. Have a good week. Take care. 🙂

Thanks that’s great you think that as I’ve tried to cover many aspects for people if they ever visit or move to NZ. Hopefully the audio was ok with my new mic too 👌 have an awesome week!

Thanks a lot Jos. My partner and I are considering moving to NZ from Australia and we’re looking to stay permanently and obtain the citizenship there. I appreciate you touching on the sociopolitical aspects, diversity, lifestyle, crime rates, heathcare and the quality of life overall. I’ve spent a fare bit of my time in London as well and I found that hustle and bustle vibe of London rather exhausting! After watching your whole video, i think we will find NZ really a perfect match for our laidback, nonparty vibes 😆. Out of all, what I find mostly concerning for me would be the grocery prices, lack of a variety of products (i do enjoy the privileges ofthe availability of diverse products from around the world here in Aus), and the house quality (both material wise and design wise) which I’m really glad you talked about it since i’ve not seen any other channels discuss this yet, and i found it to be the issue for myself as well)

Thanks for your comments on the video. I tried to cover as many aspects as possible and ultimately it’s just my opinion on what I’ve found since I’ve been here over the years. It’s great that I still get to enjoy both NZ and Europe as I travel quite a bit. Thanks for watching and your support! 🤗

Great video, thanks for taking the time and sharing your experience.

Hi, If you prefer to come in the summer and enjoy the nice weather then December & January are usually lovely. Thanks for watching! 🤗

Lived in London, Sydney, Brisbane, Auckland. Family in Australia and New Zealand, Shanghai. Top area to live in Auckland? Hibiscus Coast, lowest crime rate (in particular Orewa, Millwater, Milldale). Another amazing area is Maraetai. Other than that, it’s pointless being in Auckland if your not utilising the water, sailing, fishing……

So many great places in New Zealand and I do love to travel and go to different places. I hope you had a really lovely New Year!

Auckland alone has 52 volcanic cones. Nz as a whole has in excess of 80

@@josatkin personally London of the mid nineteens to the early 2000s when I lived there remains 2nd only to Wellington as my favourite city on the planet. Kia ora ( hello) and hiaere mai ( welcome) to paradise

Best about NZ is that OZ is nearby

For the occasional weekend. Most people with even half a brain wouldnt want to live in a country full of lethal animals, is 80% vertually uninhabitable dessert and full of redneck Australians. Lol

UK is an island too babes 😂😂

Yes it is but being from the midlands I don’t often get the chance or time to go to the coast but in NZ I try to make a lot more effort if I can. I also live right by the water which I love. Both islands are great 👌Thanks for watching! 🤗

Hi what is the weather in winter time

@josatkin

The North Island doesn't really get that cold compared to the South Island where it will often snow. Winter in NZ does usually involve a lot of rain though. It's known to be 4 seasons in one day so it could be raining one minute then sunny the next. I prefer the winters in NZ than the UK as I don't think they're as extreme.

Hi, I think that you have covered it quite well. We are definitely a mixed bunch of foreigners, some came by canoe, some came by ship and a lot of us came by airplane. If you like the great outdoors and love country living and are into sport you will love it. We are a nation of eighty islands and many island natives. I know, I am a European and I married an islander, she is for her sins English, yes they are islanders too. This country has always been open to opportunity and rewards people who are willing to learn new skills and take a chance. You will notice that when you come home to Auckland you will be welcomed by a friendly face at immigration and get a smiling “Welcome home”! Maybe it’s because I am an ex soldier that I give thanks for every day that I live in this country. What other Prime Minister have you ever heard say “ be kind to each other”? Cheers mate Harera

Useless fact Auckland is the most isolated city over 1 million with no other city over 1 million in New Zealand and Sydney being its nearest city more than a million 2153km away. Perth to Adelaide is 2117km those bloody Aussies tried to pinch that fact of us as well cheeky buggers.😢

Hi, Thanks for your comment. I'm not an immigration officer but I would suggest you look at the NZ immigration office website and get in touch with them directly about your specific situation. The website also breaks down different visa types so this might provide further information for you. Thanks for watching! 🤗

Hi So great 💕💕💕

New Zealand os just the most BORING country I’ve ever lived in, isolated, expensive and with terrible weather. Plus kiwis are very passive aggressive
