Moving To New Zealand

Описание: It’s official, we’ve moved our whole lives across the world to New Zealand. What better place to get out of our comfort zones (we’re talking sky diving, rafting, bungee jumping) and indulge in endless natural beauty (from breathtaking mountains to spectacular beaches) - the two things we set out to achieve from this year’s travels. In this video we begin our next chapter, experience the longest flight of our lives and begin laying the foundations for our new life here in New Zealand.

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.
