If the world start using nuclear weapons against each other, living so far away will be a huge bonus. People have moved to New Zealand just for that reason

Good advice. Many Kiwi's go overseas, especially when younger. But when we come back; we are generally happier and appreciate what we have going locally.

When I was a kid in the 60's and 70's, everything was made in NZ. That's what made NZers innovative. Very little was imported. It's made NZers dependent on imports and reduced the labour force and skills. I like home made and support it where I can. Buy NZ made!

Kia ora (hello) Cost of food. Please take into account that NZ has had a lot of storms cyclones, floods & landslides over the past year, so lots of crops was lost, this in turn puts the cost up, due to lack of produce. Cost of fuel going up is also worldwide. So generally the cost of living is happening all over the world... NOT just in NZ. Back in the day NZ made most of the things... but overseas offered things cheaper... which never lasts long.. plus NZ moved the factories overseas due to cheap workers... so products today last 5 to 7 yrs, compared to back in the day to lasting 25 yrs+.... NZ is a long narrow country, so we do tend to have 4 seasons in a day is certain parts as the weather blows thru fast. But at the end of the day New Zealand is a beautiful country... tourists need to come and tour for 3 months not just 2 weeks to just see what we really have to offer. NZ does NOT do 'tipping' either'. 🙂.

New Zealand tends to focus on services such as healthcare and education. Getting your hair and nails done or buying makeup and magazines are considered luxury items. As for the weather, it's not that extreme except in the mountains. If you don't like your grass being green move somewhere else where it doesn't rain as much. Wellington is not called the windy city for nothing. If you're bored, you must lack an imagination.

We did our OE, and loved been back in NZ. Regarding food e.g. tomatoes in October definitely not in season so yes you pay more for hot house tomatoes. Buy seasonal food. Quite frankly i think it's a good thing that we are not such a big country, I love the space. I'm not into consumerism, we op shop, sew.
Good and bad in whatever country you live in.

We are at the consideration stage of moving to New Zealand. You mentioned some resources to learn more and get the ball rolling. Where could I find those and/or do you have another communication medium?

I am currently working on making the leap to NZ. I am curious if I can use my electronics there with adapters or if I should get rid of everything and buy new electronics there?

Spot on with most of your comments, I also moved to NZ some years back, and stayed in Auckland for 11 years, but ultimately, I chose to settle in Wellington, and I have been here for 6 years now. The wind can be a factor, especially when trying to maintain a vegetable garden, however, it's not too bad, and the Summer's are really a lot better generally than in Auckland. I guess everyone will have different expectations when they arrive here, but I think the pros definitely outweigh the cons. It's easy to nit-pick things like lack of variety, and cost of living, but if these things are not high on your agenda, then you are in the right place.

Advice base don personal experience is always worth listening too. It comes down to having a good idea why you wish to move - seeking input and experiences from those gone before. One comment - in broad terms you don't need a wide selection of clothes - there is no pressure to keep up with the Jones as it were - but in pre covid days popping over to Sydney or Melbourne was a snip - $200 return! And all the shopping you wanted - made selection of clothes a special treat. Thumbs up for your podcast.

Regarding the weather, have you looked at the weather in the US of A over the last couple of years?

I left NZ back in the late 80s. Then it was a completely different place to what it is now. Everything was cheap...Food was cheap. Houses were affordable and from our perspective moving to a country like Japan seemed a crazy idea becasue we were told that things there were insanely expensive..But that's were I went...and Yeah, it really was expensive to live in a place like Tokyo after being in Australia and NZ...Fast forward to 2023 and now I still live in Tokyo but things have shifted radically. Now living in Japan is still annoyingly expensive but going back to NZ is out of the question...It was shocking to see how badly the prices of things had been inflated..Everything there was way more expensive than Japan. I couldn't believe how over the top the prices were when I took my kids there for their first trip....It was really depressing to see how far NZ had fallen, and the thing is that for Kiwis who don't get out into the world, they may not even realize how badly they're being shafted by the govt there. It shows just how badly the economy and the financial management has be managed by the globalists....The global economy is tanking and places like NZ are being hit hard...I actaully can't afford to go back to NZ now even if I wanted to...Japan a far more stable and affordable...

Can you speak about how the restrictions were during Covid in New Zealand? I heard it was full lockdown. How did you get necessities?

Love the videos been watching for over a year. Are you guys following the Rugby World Cup currently going on in France?

You are so spot on, cost is a predominant problem, and the lack of variety, although as a Kiwi we adapt. I am flying next week for 2 weeks, in NZ, and yearn to return for good. Love your podcast Tara, you are very up front. We are spending a lot of time in Wellington, may see you. God Bless

NZL was the best in the 80's!

Subscribed. Thankyou for your channel. Fellow Kiwi here. It’s always lovely to have other NZ'ers perspective on our country but I'm with you on most of these topics.

I've been a cdl holder in USA. I drive semi trucks. How hard is it to become a truck driver in New zealand and is it considered an excellent paying job there like it is here?

NZer here, agree with the mobile data prices. Basically an extra monthly bill for unlimited mobile data.

Guys as an Aussie all I can say is that there is no need to justify NZ or your way of life to anyone. People from other parts of the world move to your beautiful country looking for something better than where they come from,. If the expectations dont live up to the reality seriously thats their problem not yours. I have been over there 4 times and i will continue crossing the ditch whenever I get the opportunity.
