Why I'm Moving to New Zealand | A Cinematic Journey
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ก.ย. 2024
- I was born in California to a mother from the USA and a father from New Zealand. I've had the immense honor of traveling the world making films on the @vagabrothers channel, and in the process seeing over 70+ countries. I've lived in three, the USA in California for the majority of my life, Spain for three years, and New Zealand for a year in 2009.
In my previous video, I share that I'm moving to New Zealand with my wife @CarrieRad and our dog Lanka. Although we're leaving California, this is something we've been planning on doing for a really long time. As a Dual Citizen of both the United States of America and New Zealand, I've always wanted to live a chapter of my life in New Zealand and the time to do that is now.
In this cinematic video, I'm SHOWING YOU WHY, with a collection of my favorite video clips from my 2019 trip to New Zealand. It's going to be a journey, we don't know what's in store, but we're so excited to take you all with us on this adventure of a lifetime.

I’m a kiwi living in North America and honestly mate I’m jealous. I love it here but home is always my turangawaewae. Enjoy it 💪🏼
Cool insight 👍🏼
Solid my bro! Home will always be here my brother, go explore all the gems around the world.. As a maori thats nearly 30 in feb, im quite proud of what ive achieved in my 20's, lived abroad in 2 different countries and travelled around well over 50 countries and counting.. Nz will always be our turangawaewae but travelling for me is all about with other people turangawaewae
@Kata List Productions hahaha
@Kata List Productions god you need a life
@Kata List Productions lol yup thats what iz be saying, they trying take over the world .. what do they call it ahhh oh yeah new world order !! We will be up shit creek without a paddle when it happens too !! Well stay blessed
Nice slow mo of that bird flying - reminds me of the woodlands creatures in Sleeping Beauty 😀
Wow great video! Thank you! 👍
Thank you!
Wow glad to see you enjoyed our country,like any country we have our good parts and the bad parts , but it is home and I hope you can one day call it yours, good luck and welcome.
Your maybe not talking to indigenous too please
We have options
Js
Please don’t bring any of your American bad habits.
I understand completely. Been considering a move to New Zealand. Going to be so nice for you :D
Cheers Stefan!
I just love New Zealand...so much variety, beauty and things to discover. Great spot for me to get away for a week or so...so close being in Australia 😁👍
🙏🏼🙏🏼
I'm kiwi living in central auckland christmas is my favorite time here it's summer beaches bbq families get together xmas presents and sight seeing traveling .welcome to the land of the long white cloud .
Tourism NZ should be paying you for this video! It's beautiful! One of the things I love (as a kiwi living in Australia) when you arrive at Auckland international airport is the tunnel of native birdsong you walk through, always makes me feel like I've come home 🥰
When you arrive, check out this song: "Welcome Home", by Dave Dobbyn. You will know you belong.
‘But you won’t.
@@Pete-z6e ? Won't listen or you think they won't belong. ?
I always wondered when you and Marko were going to show off NZ to the world. Loved how you showcased it last year and can't wait to see your vids once you make it over here! 🥝
Thank you Georgia!! I appreciate your support
That scene where Carrie is in the forest, I hear my favorite, the Tui bird, calling. I am so jealous and wish y’all the very best. I’ve been from the top of the North to the bottom of the South and Stewart Island, and understand why my Kiwi friends call their country “Godzone”. It’s definitely God’s own country. The diversity of people and landscape is remarkable. Looks like you’ve got a new sub here.
Hey Diane! Welcome to the team. We appreciate your kind words and support. I LOVE THE TUI sounds. It’s unreal!
Did New Zealand proud with that beautiful video! Thank you ❤️
Good onya bro! Support the All Blacks rugby games while your here lol
And the highlanders
Next time you guys are coming through Rotorua, the jug is always on, & the Steinies are always cold
Lol, Americans don't use a jug to boil water I don't think they would really know what a jug is used for.
meke az way to awhi someone caz💙
Welcome to New Zealand 🇳🇿 😀. From Kaiapoi, Canterbury. NZ.
What an awesome way to showcase "OUR" beautiful country,you're gonna love being back home,especially when you get here in our summer. Good luck to you guys.
@Nathan Cross "OUR" means everyone mate - it has nothing to do with ethnicity,or where you were born. Its about those who live here,and love the place,but it looks like you see it a different way.
@Nathan Cross he said OUR dumbass
Welcome home guys. You can be what ever you want to be and do whatever makes your soul happy here. Welcome to our team of five million.
Thank you! We’re so stoked!
I'm so ready. Doing whatever sets our soul on fire.
I’ve been wanting to move to NZ myself. It would be awesome if you talked about the process, visas, qualifications etc.
Probably have to wait until our government lift the border up for international students...at this moment not easy getting into NZ with Covid19 happening
You can look at nz government website there are ways to enter but for now only citizens and residents can come but getting your paperwork done now will get you in when Borders open
It's easy tbh just don't give up try your best to go through all the steps of doing it they will welcome you in my kiwiland if you follow your heart and do it slowly but 100%sure it's easy
As COVID will be still around you will have to register for quarantine before you leave the USA
@@fosiolui5815 Not anymore,,to many people lied on their, application's,,so there was a big change, NZ is now,one of the hardest country's to get to,,and expensive as well,,
But look up on the, immigration NZ website,, they will have all the,updates,,
I can’t wait !!! I’m a kiwi but living in Australia and coming back to New Zealand soon for study !!
Cheers Tegan!
Don't forget when you go back to Aust after you finish to pay the loan back lol
@@leannesmith5818 haha I know I’ll have too sadly but oh well I won’t come back to auz
@@Teganwinters1 I lived over there for 30 years moved back 21 years ago and I've seen it from top to bottom, it's just spectacular I'm ready to do it again, and us 5000,000 we are too, you won't regret coming back
@@leannesmith5818 definitely I love it 😻
Looking forward to seeing NZ from your lens. From a fellow expat in NZ!
It'll be a pleasure for you to come to New Zealand to live
Make sure you come visit the West coast, south island (that's were I live it's beautiful)
Travel safe
Respect and love from down under :)
Edit: Make sure you call are Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern "Aunty" its what we do in New Zealand :)
🤣😂
Haha yesss aunty! And omg the west coast is gorgeous 😘
@@jamiecarter2192 "the great coast road" is stunning u been to the coast?
Make sure you organise your quarantine vouchers before travelling over here. They are now compulsory for everyone coming into New Zealand, every traveller has to enter controlled quarantine for two weeks, we only have a limited number of hotels dedicated to quarantine of arrivals. No vouchers no entry. There is also no guarantee where in NZ you will be bused too from the airport. You could end up in Auckland, Hamilton, Rotorua, Wellington or Christchurch, so keep that in mind, as you may have to organise your own travel within NZ to get to your final destination. Safe travels and Kia Kaha
yes my sister went back home to nz last month to Auckland and she got flown to Wellington for her quarantine....She said service and food was amazing. At least in Nz its FREE quarantine, unlike Australia grrrr
@@davidlea5912 is it still free?? i thought people have to pay now. RIP nz taxpayer money in that case lol
@@unluggylounge674 You have to pay around $3000 for your quarantine. At first it was free but not anymore
@@TheEtrangeclown yep thats what i thought, the person commented saying last month their sister came and all free but i thought no longer free since couple month back
@@TheEtrangeclown If you are 🇳🇿 NewZealand born citizen and your life is in immenent danger , otherwise boarders are and will remain Closed.
I don't want you to go, you became like family to me. I even convinced my fiance to take his first flight because of you guys. (Vegas next Month for our Wedding) Maybe one day, I can come to New Zealand. Because of you and Marco, I took the courage of traveling to Paris and Jamaica solo. And you and Carrie inspired me to TRY to grow a garden next year!!! Best wishes to you both!!!! Always your pal, Ebony from Alabama.
Awww thank you so much Ebony. It makes me happy to hear my videos helped inspire you to step outside your comfort zone and try new things/ travel to new places.
But don’t worry the videos aren’t going anywhere, if anything there will be more content.
@@AlexanderAyling I can't wait!!!
So I’ve subscribed to your channel and will follow your future life in New Zealand. I’m a kiwi living in Brisbane Australia but have only been here a short time but New Zealand will always be home. I wish you well. I particularly like your shots of Auckland from Little Shoal Bay as I used to live on Northcote Point, a beautiful part of Auckland (aside from morning traffic lol) cheers
Kia Ora Alex! You will love New Zealand. We are a very friendly people and there is alot of amazing places to see and things to do.
Nau mai ki Aotearoa to you
I’m sure all 3 of you will love it here
Welcome also to any others contemplating the move
Great to hear your gonna live here bro.
Beautiful spring day today. No shoes required.
Let me know if you need a lift from the airport when you get here.

Hi Alex I am from an Alpine Village, Hanmer Springs New Zealand. South Island between Nelson and Christchurch. Check it out on Google. You guys will love the town.
Your video is undeniably beautiful. What is nature is is remarkably unique and gorgeous. But as a fellow American also living in New Zealand, I do not share your embrace and generous perspective of the country and it’s Kiwi populace. I have been living here now for nine years and have not found any connection with NZ at all. I moved here for love for someone (of non-Kiwi origin, thankfully!) I met back in California, not for the country. Upon moving here, I enthusiastically sent out CV’s proud of my Silicon Valley-esque qualifications and skills only to be rejected left and right, up and down, due to a lack of “Kiwi experience.” Only later did I realize I was blatantly being discriminated against. In America, we would never ask a Kiwi, “Oh…, do you have any American experience?” Fortunately now I work remotely for an American company, pay American tax, and nothing in NZ tax - HA-HA!
Then there are the Kiwis who I’ve grown very distrustful of with their insincere, cowardly, back-stabbing nature. Not to mention, very boring people. Quite conning, they expect you to spill all your beans about you upon enquiring, but if you ask about them, suddenly they’re authentically offended that you’re attempting to invade their privacy. So much for being honest and social. The other aspect about Kiwis is how disgustingly homogeneous and racist they can be. With the rising influx of Latino, Middle Eastern, and Asian immigrants NZ has had in recent (pre-COVID) years, the disparaging rhetoric amongst huddled Kiwis is inhumane and loathsome, and would make a card-carrying member of the KKK very proud. (Perhaps this explains why many Māoris are incarcerated more so than white Kiwis.) But then they rear a hypocritical face of acceptance and endearment so the rest of a more progressive society does not criticize them.
Thirdly, there is their insipid “cuisine.” Never have I overpaid for under-served, underwhelming, tasteless meal portions as I have in NZ. It’s no wonder I only cook at home. It certainly makes me miss the immense and great abundance served to us in United States cafes and restaurants, which also makes me proud to give those folks a generous tip. Sure, NZ has enviably accessible healthcare, clean water system, fresh air environment, pristine coasts, but then again, so does my native West Coast in North America. I find it a shame that a country that attempts to project itself as a progressive, accepting nation has exposed its more disheartening, unpleasant, and yes, absolute unfavorable truth to me.
Welcome, welcome! We are an amazing people and land. Arohanui 🌊
I’m so happy for you guys. Got to love Rugby. Great place. Lovely people!
🙏🏼🙏🏼
Welcome to NZ.....Looking forward to seeing New Zealand through your eyes when u arrive here...I just love our country.....Im a kiwi thats living in NZ lol..we are very proud of our country....
If you are a NZ citizen, you can come home although you will be in government managed isolation for 14 days and tested twice for Covid.. However, I don't think you can just hop on a plane that easily, there are not many flight these days!
Beautiful, makes me miss home so much, kia ora bro 🙏🏽🇳🇿🖤
Could you please message me with some information about the process you’re going through? I also am strongly interested in immigrating to New Zealand/Aotearoa
My day just got better. I am an Indian student living in New Zealand. I love you both ❤️ huge follower ❤️❤️ super excited 🌈🌈😍🔥
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Don’t forget to visit “The Blue Springs” in Putaruru, it’s our hidden gem!
Hamurana springs on the other side of Lake Rotorua is another one,i think they have a fee to see it all ,but is has more to see at though.
@@Andy_M986 The one at rainbow springs but thats for tourist
@@bittersweet340 So is Hamurana Springs Stevie.
I can understand this young couple in 2020 the world changed some country’s did well with handling the virus some did not we all had to face the new reality. New Zealand for many reasons did well and I feel very privileged and very proud of my countrymen we for the most part showed a level of sanity in all this madness that many did not and I pray every day that it stays that way.
Ohhhh , I do hope you enjoy. If I could I would be making a similar journey. But all in time.
Thank you Mia! Stay tuned as I’ll be bringing you along
Love the country....just a shame about the government :-(
Nowt wrong with the govt, now as to the opposite side of the debating chambers well they had 9yr in parliament and the did jack russell, glad the cantabrians made sure brownlee was rolled from posh electorate Ilam, still waiting for the empty promises to be fulfilled by the nats after earthquake still nowt. Populus has spoken, no armchair generals left from nats thank goodness.
Best you go back to where you come from then UK???lol
@@katerinakemp5701 We shall soon see what JA has planned with her so called diverse govt.
Nowt int a kiwi expression so where do you hail from!
hey guys, just awesome your coming to my most amazing place in the world!! Where eva you decide to live here in NZ, your both welcome..When its time to start your own family, theres no better place to bring ur kids up, in a happy, wonderful, safe place!!
You will get a very warm welcome from us here in NZ. If you visit Hamilton on your travels, then you are most welcome to drop in and visit us for some good Kiwi hospitality.
@@RedSkyrkw - ???
Nice! Welcome home bro! Hope it all goes well and smoothly for you both!!
Thank you Iti
Great views, interesting place in the world, going to "shake" up your life some more, you'll enjoy it. 😷👍🤙
Cheers John!
Don’t do it you’ll regret it I live in nz
It sucks big time
@@RedSkyrkw you have to be a multi millionaire to live here housing costs through the roof
Food and petrol expensive.
I don't know if I said this on your other vids but as an expat New Zealander I'm so jealous of you. Starting to think seriously of returning home.
Thanks for capturing and sharing the overview of the stunning sceneries in New Zealand.
Thank you!!!! We can't wait to see more.
So excited for this adventure y’all are going on!!
Thank you Jessica!! It’s a big leap of faith but we’re very excited too
Really enjoyed watching this! Well done, it's amazing! 👏✨ Take a look at out channel and make sure you follow our newest adventure!
While I welcome you to Aotearoa bro', I think your fellow Americans should realize that they won't be able to move to NZ en masse. They will need a visa. Not easy to come by unless like you , you are Kiwi by family. Also, NZ doesn't want too many people moving here, it would spoil the place!
Correct, damn have they put us back on the world map again, better when they left us off now everyone will know we do exist lol.
Make sure you pay New Plymouth a visit 😊☺️
My wife and I are are living our dream here in Canada, in love, 29 yrs today, our anniversary!! Heaps of good luck and best wishes on your next chapter of your lives in New Zealand! 👍🤗👏❤️
I'm a Kiwi living in Scotland and I think this is the first time I've been homesick for NZ. Wishing you all the best with the move
Thank you Shannon! I found the South Island at times very similar to Scotland. Lots of Scottish immigrants back in the day
@@AlexanderAyling There are definitely some similarities and both incredibly beautiful countries!
Absolutely stunning footage, and with the move, I'm sure the best is yet to come!
Not too sure if your wife is one of the main features of NZ but alright.
Kia Ora Alex! Very excited for you guys coming to NZ and loving the beautiful content you shot! Makes me want to discover my country even more 😊
Gorgeous Video! It's so pretty there, also what music are you using in the video of you don't mind me asking?👌👌 Fab!!
Beautiful 😍
Watching this, I’m so proud to be a Kiwi
🙌🏼
All the best for the New Journey ✌🏻🎉
Thank you!
Could you do a video explaining the process of making such a large move? i.e. a breakdown of the costs, shipping etc. Keep up the great content! 👍🏻
Hey François! Yes I’ll be making a video like that coming up soon once we get more headway made and have a clearer idea of exactly what is involved.
@@AlexanderAyling Brilliant stuff! Looking forward to watching it.
Specially with the 🐕 situation and quarantine. My boyfriend and I are also moving to NZ in February/March, we just on the process of some paperwork for our dog.
@@Serenity_seeker_nz Exactly I want to understand the process of getting the Lanka to NZ!
@@Serenity_seeker_nz I haven’t had a look but I’m guessing our mpi website would have something on importing pets. From memory, dogs and cats are kept for a minimum of 10 day but could be longer. Just make sure your dog is kept up with its vaccinations and have good paperwork along with that. Other than that good luck on the transition!
It's the best country in the world!!
Love New Zealand so much forever!!
😍🇳🇿✌️😎
Couldn't agree more Nikki! Hope you check out some of my new videos from New Zealand! I've got a playlist with all of them lined up
Have a great journey in my home New Zealand
Thank you Jesse!!
Even though I live in Auckland and you'll be further south when you get here if you have a question on where to get a certain thing that you might miss from the USA. There is a store here that imports a lot of the classic American products like cereals, drinks, candy bars, and even corn tortillas and salsas.
Marthas backyard And the do online too. My wife is from MI, came over 21 years ago and never went home.
Man I'm looking at getting out of new zealand probably to some SE Asian country like Thailand or Vietnam. Much cheaper to live in and friendlier people than nz as for you moving here you're welcome to but best wait till our border reopens
It's already November! (I'm playing catch up) You'll be heading over here so soon, how has this year flown by so quickly and also been the longest year? haha! Hopefully your iso goes smoothly and then you can head out and adventure!
Magnificent scenery and country. I started 2019 with two glorious months in New Zealand and cannot wait until it's safe to return. You're fortunate to be a dual national. It is a great place to live.
We feel grateful to be here 🙏🏼 - thanks for watching and saying hello
I love my home. It feels surreal to me that something so beautiful is free for our eyes to view. The air is so fresh, it baptises the lungs. There is no place I’d rather be
This Kiwi Would Love 2 Do a Video On Y I Moved Bak 2 NQLD!!! I Love My Country NZ!... But Hate The Cold!..And Bein Trapped Indoors During The N Z Winters Sittin On Top Of a Heater!...NQLD Gives Me The Freedom Of Bein Outdoors All Year Arround 2 Go Exploring In Nature Somewhere!!
New Zealand is absolutely gorgeous. Apart from the fact that you are from there I totally get why you’re moving there. So pretty, peaceful and full of nature. I am slightly jealous if I‘m honest😊
Positive vibes to you two on your journey there ✌🏽❤️
Thank you Ray!
Beautiful! I hope you get another place where you build another garden
That’s the plan - bigger garden for sure
Welcome to NZ! Just a heads up - those orange berries 3.05-3.09 appear to be Karaka berries which are very attractive but deadly poisonous to dogs. They have a neurotoxin in the seed and dogs die a horrible death unless euthanised. If one is eaten, get the dog to a vet within an hour if possible to induce vomiting. Been there done that so I am very careful when bush walking with my dog now.
Hey guys love all yr videos welcome back to beautiful new zealand
New Zealnd is beautiful country. Very good place to those who want to retired or love nature....I would like to recommend Lake Tekapo
The soundtrack for this video was incredible. Perfect! 💗
If you're bringing your dog! make sure you're checked out import requirements [You'll need rabies shots done twice over 6 months before the dog has left USA etc, and there is quarantine requirement once in NZ [all at your cost]
Thanks Kerry! Yeah we’re on top of all his requirements :)
Kia ora alex an beautiful lady wishing yu guys all da best beautiful place
It seems like more and more people coming from American only because we're competent regardless of the landscape of nz and how friendly we are. We're getting covid cases at our boarder more than community transmission... I wonder why 🤔
I don't like people move to NZ because of the landscape only sound like excuse to me. Whereas South America or Canada definitely has better landscapes.
Welcome to Aotearoa! All the best with the journey ahead. Question: Can you please give the details of the music you used in this clip.
Nga mih! (shout out) 🙏🏽
Can never get enough of your arial shots - stunning.
Thank you 🙏🏼
Wow I don't know why but this video made me emotional. I'm a Maori but I've been living over the ditch in Australia. This makes me realise how much I miss home after not being able to come for 2 years since covid 🥺
Bro I'm wondering why haven't you moved to australia.. Is it Becsuse over populated? I might either immigrate to new zealand or perhaps Canada.
Alex, congratulations on your desire to move to New Zealand! You and Carrie are young and the opportunities in the horizon are endless! Your video montage is spectacular and the piecing together of all your clips was seamless. I think New Zealand should hire you as their tourism director for tourism guides to New Zealand. We are driving in New Mexico on our way back from a road trip to Louisiana. Got to see the beautiful landscapes in Utah, Colorado, Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, New Mexico, and Nevada. Finally getting to check this off the bucket list. New Zealand is on our bucket list. Next month, Egypt and Dubai! . Have you been to Egypt? I think you’ve been to Dubai.... looking forward to more videos. Best of luck,. Your traveling friends, Vita Maria & Chuck.
Hello Vita Maria & Chuck! Thanks for the kind words. I haven't been to Egypt but it's way up on my bucket list! Safe travels :)
Hey you two lovely people! C'mon over for some roast lamb and decent pinot next time you're in Alexandra, Central Otago and bring Lanka to meet our dog Ivy. I have a feeling you might really like it down here - truly the primo end of the country!! Good luck with the relocation - not too long to go now. ♥♥♥
I just got to say. A very welcome to Nz.
Thank you!
That footage is so beautiful! You’ve made NZ look amazing haha can’t wait for you guys to get here!
Thanks Jamie!!!
Take at least 5,000 per week to feed and accommodate your self just like any Kiwi👍❤️
Just be sure to not get the 'thing' being in there, last news about New Zealand are preeeeetty wild tho
News about new zealand?????
@@lordo2223 the cor... ona quarantine facilities?
@@augusTJ quarantine is compulsory here to date new zealand has no active cases in the community and people returning will spend minimum of 14 days there paid for by new zealand those leaving the country will have to pay for there quarantine when they return its fair reason being if we didn't the virus would take hold in a mayor way like it has in the rest of the world public safety is number 1 we are free to do what we want once out of quarantine with in reason its a caring country which puts health and safety of all above any political party freedom is great but comes with responsibility spreading a diease virus because you have the notion your rights means more than others isn't a thing here we protect each other and want everyone to succeed
Our beaches and towns are not so crowded and our government is really good so we don't need tourist money please stop bragging about our country to everyone we don't want to overpopulate its very peaceful having the country to ourselves as we are a very tiny island so consider yourselfs lucky and welcome to Atearoa!
I'm born and spending my life in New Zealand huntly
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@AlexanderAyling omg where are you staying what area
Wishing you all the best in your move! I went to California last year and loved the hype and theme parks but it took a while getting used to seeing so much homelessness and dirty streets - we don’t seem to have it to the same extent here in NZ. In fact our government put all the homeless into hotels during our lockdown period approx 4 weeks. I’m curious if your partner has a special visa into NZ as our country is effectively shut off to all non-kiwis? Will be great to start having more people come through 😊
Congratulations 🎉 man I actually wanna move to Ireland someday since I am Irish good luck on your new adventures
Pure joy to watch my friend! This is what I am striving for in my videos!
If you want to see another example of how great New Zealand is watch this short film. Sweet As

On my bucket list is this insane waterfall with boarding down it near Gisborne I think that area please check it out called the rere waterslide waterfall
Yeah we will for sure give that a slide
Awesome video I love it! Just subscribed. My gf and I been considering a move to to this small piece of paradise on the corner of the world.. Can't wait till this pandemic is over then we to will be planning our move!
What are you feelings after going to New Zealand? All the best for your new journey. And why you decided to shift from California to New Zealand
