You are zoomed out too far to see location pins. New Zealanders are the friendliest people in the world. Before I bought a one-way flight to Auckland, I had heard mysterious rumors of the friendliness of the kiwi people. And over the years when I was backpacking around the world, I often met people from New Zealand, and I was struck by how kind they were. From the shopkeepers to the bartenders to the average person walking down the street, if there is one thing you can always count on in New Zealand is just how lovely and friendly everyone is.
Moving abroad is scary.
Moving abroad to a new country without knowing a single person is absolutely terrifying. However, picking a place with super friendly people has made all the difference.
What Kiwi really means. Kiwis as we know them in America are called kiwi fruit. I pretty much scream every time I go through one here, especially the ones with double lanes. The more sheep than people rumor is not false. So the rumor that there are more sheep than people in New Zealand is not exactly false, as I quickly found out.
After leaving sprawling urban Auckland, the complete lack of people took me by surprise. Driving down to Wellington, I would drive for ages and sometimes not see other cars. Once you get outside of the cities in Wellington, you quickly realize that there are just not a lot of people about. New Zealand really is the end of the world. And yeah, there are a lot of sheep. When I was packing for New Zealand, I made an executive decision to leave my hiking boots at home.
Because everything is virtually imported to NZ, things are expensive. NZ has the worst internet in the entire world. When I first heard rumors of shoddy internet in NZ before moving there, I laughed it off. I thought those stories were not up to date or relevant any more. Boy, was I mistaken. As I understand it from my tech friends, NZ is literally at the end of the under-the-ocean-magic-internet-cable.
There are a lot of foreigners in New Zealand. New Zealand is an amazing, empty place. That being said, there are a surprising amount of foreigners to be found around the islands.
NZ has a very open working holiday scheme which means many people from around the world can come and easily get a visa to work and travel around the country. Also NZ is a popular travel destination. This means there are lots of foreigners around town, which for me is both a positive and a negative. Negative because I want to go native and fit in with the locals which can be challenging, but also awesome because I get to make friends with people from all over the world. But no Americans in NZ. From San Francisco, Auckland is a 12 hour direct flight.
From Wellington to London, it took me approximately 40 hours of travel time and 4 flights. How many Brits have I met so far on my journey? A million. How many Americans? Rent is per week not per month. Completely random but for those curious-minded folks, apartments are listed with rent prices per week not per month. And speaking of apartments, they are called flats like in the UK and the deposit is called a bond. Speaking English is hard.
Getting the bill in the restaurant. The first time I went out for a meal at a sit-down restaurant in New Zealand, I was surprised by several things. Firstly, the food is phenomenal. Seriously, there are some damn good restaurants to be found in this part of the world. However, at the end of the meal I was confused.
