Moving to New Zealand’s South Island | West Coast Road Trip

Описание: In today's video, we're making the move from New Zealand's North to South Island, taking a road trip down the beautifully wild West Coast. With our money running low after our latest series of adventures, we embark on this road trip with a pretty tight budget - which begs the question, can we truly experience everything on offer here almost for free?

Here's a bit about us:

We’re pretty sure that the very first time we met included hours discussing our hopes to travel the world and so it’s no surprise that in 2023 we eventually made the decision to quit our jobs, pack up our things and leave to travel full-time in our self-converted van.

We wanted to leave the world of 9-5's and society's expectations behind as we knew this route in life wouldn't make us happy. But after travelling on and off (mostly off) for the past year and a half, we decided we wanted to try things a different way. What if we could explore the world full-time by living and working in different places? With this new plan in mind, we picked our first destination - Aotearoa New Zealand. And now, here we are, ready for a year of adventure.
