- We recently moved from California in the USA to New Zealand and this is how we brought our dog with us. From shots, vaccinations, to veterinary appointments, booking flights, and quarantine, it's a complicated process and this video will help you figure it out.
I'm Alex, a.k.a Alex The Vagabond and I'm a travel filmmaker, photographer, and TV host. On this channel, I'll share some travel guides, motivational and inspirational videos from lessons I've learned during my life, and cooking recipes from international cuisine using vegetables grown in my home garden. Hopefully, my videos will help you learn new skills, find happiness, inspire exploration, and grow your creativity. Stay tuned friends!

Hey friends, I want to apologize for picking up my phone while driving.
My grandmother who I haven’t seen in months and is very dear to me called right before we picked up Lanka. I was excited and hadn’t spoken to her in a while and shouldn’t have picked up the phone. It was a spur of the moment mistake and not something I do. Please accept my apologies.
Sending love ✌🏼❤️
Hmmmmm. Please don’t do that again.
Full respect... we all make mistakes but to own it shows character.
It’s all good
Mr bean can get dressed and brush his teeth while driving 🙃
Respect to you for always replying to these comments graciously.
I've heard Kiwis are more likely than most to call people out on things for the greater good of everyone.
Happens online and offline 😂
I 100% agree with the comments, as soon as I saw it I scrolled to the comments to see if anyone else had said anything. Safe driving everyone 😊🚘
When you were calling the quarantine facility, the way the lady's voice lit up when you mentioned Lanka was very heart-warming. You can tell he was being looked after by people who genuinely love and care for animals, rather than people who just see them as a means to a paycheck. Definitely the kind of people you want looking after your fur babies. 🥰
Couldn’t agree more!
I used to work at a dog kennel and seeing them get reunited with their owners after a long stay was my favourite!
Awww the best part of the job I imagine
YOU ARE US..... 4 years ago. Hubby and I moved to NZ from the UK and our jack russell "Sushi" stayed at Pet Haven for 10 days. Worst 10 days of my life being separated from my beautiful girl. But the folks at Pet Haven took great care of her. We are now 4 years on with a 2 year old and another beautiful dog "Otter" and building our own eco home in the countryside and have our dream jobs!! Dreams DO come true. Love watching you guys! Would love Lanka to meet Otter and Sushi if you guys ever fancied a walk and a beer. We are down in the Bay of Plenty (Mount Maunganui). I sent you a message on FB a while ago so you have me details. Immigrating is exciting, lonely, terrifying, amazing, sad, happy - all the things!! But still 100% the best thing we ever did. Kia Kaha xx
So glad the phone issue has been highlighted! Driving and talking/video chatting without handsfree/Bluetooth is illegal in NZ and Australia! Touching your phone while driving or stopped at traffic lights can get you a fine! Might pay to get a road code and read up so you don't get a fine!
Thanks for the heads up
Tears of joy for all of you.
Cried at the reunion ❤ happy tears.
What absolute joy! He's so gorgeous! But Alex!!! Get off the phone while you're driving! It's illegal in NZ and you're carrying precious cargo with Carrie and now Lanka, don't risk them!!!!!
Agree
yes YOU WILL GET CAUGHT ALEX lol :D ...
Sit in a bus and you will see most Kiwis say one thing but do another. Peace out.
@@1993Turbo36 sadly true... until they hit someone or lose a loved one at the hands of distraction
Tears of joy poped up!! 😃
So happy for you!! 💖
I had tears in my eyes in the reunion moment! Thanks for showing us its possible guys!
Tears of Joy! I'm glad to see you all reunited.
Love it, Lanka was so happy and excited to see you guys
Such a beautiful video ❤️ made me tear up! So happy you and Carrie are reunited with your pup 😊
This warmed my heart! I don't know who looked happier between you three. So happy for you!
I m crying myself here, so happy for the 3 of you , looking foward to see your hikes and adventure together and learning from your journey. Blessings
Awww! I couldn't help tearing up when you were reunited. Cheers Lucky Lanka & fam! ❤️🐾
So glad you are all together again. Thank you for all the info as we are getting ready in about 10 months to leave for Bulgaria, so I will start my research right away. So happy for the three of you!!!🤗😘🌼🇻🇪
I enjoy watching you guys and your amazing lives so much! You make me so happy and inspire my boyfriend and I to travel and/or make a big move in the future!
Thank you for the great information. Just what I was looking for and I have just started watching your whole move series. Very inspiring as I look to make my own return.
Fantastic video and great inspiration! Keep up the great work and have a nice day!!!
It brings happy tears to my eyes . So nice there are still people that care about their fur babies ❤ Thank you guys.
Gorgeous dog. Gorgeous family. Blessings on making it to your new home Lanka!
Welcome to your new home Lanka, you’re gonna love it here!❤️🐶
Baby Lanka footage though.... omg. I'm dead. He's SO CUTE!!!!!! And LUCKY indeed!! :D
Watch his adoption video he was the cutest
The adventures of Lanka, one day in the future i want to read a book about Lanka
It’s coming Lynette. Animated children’s book? ;)
@@AlexanderAyling yes!! And you must include a drawing or pic of Carrie’s face when she saw Lanka for the first time lol
Thank you so much for this information!! I've been watching your videos for years (vagabrothers) and to know you guys moved to my home is so cool!! Currently trying to bring my dog home from the Middle East and its so overwhelming - so really appreciate this video! Thank you both so much!!
I cried at the meeting that boy was a happy chap all is right in his world now
What a beautiful story!!! So happy he got come with use, as he's family 💙❤️🇳🇿
Oh this was so wholesome! Enjoy beautiful New Zealand - I miss it so much!
Thank you Viv!
Oh man, I've been waiting for this video!! Thanks so much for the info. Glad your pup made it to NZ safely.
Thank you Elisa!!
Ahh!!! So happy ☺️ my partner is a critical care worker who’s applying to work in New Zealand in a year and I was so worried about the process of bringing our dog, but as always your amazing videos put me at ease.
Thanks for making the A+ content and I’m really excited to see what else you’ll be sharing. Subscribed!
I cried looking at your reunion. Awwwwww. Beautiful. ❤️
🙏🏼❤️
This made me cry AGAIN, just finished drying my eyes from the insta post too. My folks did the move home to NZ from Aus with our fur sibling too & I miss him so much. No need to quarantine from Aus to NZ but the vet checks and blood work was very strict and luckily he was on the same flight over. I am living vicariously through your vlogs and can't wait to be home in NZ very soon.
You guy's are the best fur baby parent's! Have to admit I shed a few tears. So glad he's reunited with you both 😊
Oh my gosh I love this video I cried like a baby when Lanka I came running out to you!!! What an awesome feeling, now you guys can rest and have no worries...❤
❤️❤️❤️ great episode in your life that you’ve shared. The family is now complete and I really look forward to watching your lives develop in NZ!
Lanky is still the cutest puppy On You Tube 😉
This made me cry tears of joy! You guys so are inspiring! Thank you for sharing your experiences! I always look forward to your next videos!
Take Care 🙂
Thank you Erin! That means a lot. Wishing you all the best! New videos soon!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience taking your dog to New Zealand. I cried just watching you 3 getting reunited. I'll be moving to New Zealand with my husband and my dog, and I got SOOOO nervous when I heard he would need to stay 10 days in quarantine. Good to know the place was nice. :)
That melted my heart 🥺
☺️❤️
Awww beautiful!!! totally still crying happy happy tears for u guys. Glad u 3 are reunited...stay blessed!Big hug to lanka!! N congrats to u both on getting wed! Love frm Sri Lanka

Your reunion with Lanka brought tears to my eyes. I'm so happy you finally have your furbaby at your side.
Thank you Joanne! It’s so nice to have him here 🙏🏼❤️
This made me so happy! Lanka has grown into one handsome boy. Thank you for saving him and giving him such a wonderful life.

Thank you Maxine. I’m so glad you enjoyed it
Ive watched the clip of u guys picking up Lanka so many times from following you both and the insta snap and I tear up each time lol just so so sweet! The slow motion clip of Carrie and Lanka running in the field is also such a sweet moment to have captured :) good luck both on your stage in your lives. Wishing you 3 happiness
Awww thank you Jackie. It’s so nice to read comments like yours. Thank you for the kind words and support
What a joy! So inspirational 🤩
🙏🏼 Thank you Alexandre
This was truly an exciting and enthralling piece of footage of your early life in NZ. I got emotional. I’m so happy for you guys. Stay Safe and god bless!
Cheers Chad!
I cried of joy when I watched you guys reuniting with him. It made me remember the day we brought our cat over from Argentina to NZ. It took us 2 years to finally be ready ourselves to receive him here, and it was sooo worth it. Couldn’t believe my eyes when he was at last at our home. Definitely one of my happiest days in life.
Enjoy him!! ❤️❤️
Awww muchas gracias Maria! Dos años sin tu mascota?! Glad you finally reunited
SO happy to see you all reunited!!! Enjoy!! ❤️
Thank you Mary
Congratulations reuniting with your 🐕 Lanka , he's awesome.
Such a great reaction guy's so happy for you three. 👍

Thank you Jo 🙏🏼
This left a huge grin on my face watching this. Wonderful job Alex and Carrie as always
Thanks Matt! Hope you’re well
@@AlexanderAyling I'm well. Seriously wishing I could be in NZ right now. Looks so awesome. I'm definitely getting the travel itch after being at home for quite some time
Especially when they are reunited with Lanka so wholesome.
I truly believe dogs have the whole notion of loving and being loved down to a tee!
Agreed :)
Very emotional video, I was tearing up when you were reunited with Lanka 💚 loved every bit of the video!
Awww thank you!
Alex, Carrie and Lanka so happy happy happy you are united Bless all 3 of you
Thank you Effie! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Awesome Free Lanka video. 😁How stressful a process from start to finish but obviously your hard work paid off and your family is back together. Thank you for the information you provided.
Thank you! 🙏🏼
You had me smile and cry at the same time. Lanka is very lucky to have you as parents. I loved her reaction. She was so happy!
24 years ago I moved from Portugal to Canada so I totally understand when you say it’s stressful and a lot of work thAt requires planning. But it’s totally worth it. Best of luck in NZ! I love you videos.
He’s a lucky boy indeed but we’re really the lucky ones to have him. Thanks for watching 🙏🏼
Omg, I couldn’t stop crying😭 when you reunited with Lanka. Lanka was super excited to see you. That moment 😘😘😘😘😘
Aww that makes me so happy to hear Shelly 🙏🏼
Beautiful video, love your content, can't wait to see more 🥰
Thank you C D
What a beautiful pup! I’ve only recently rediscovered you (first watched in the Vagabrothers days, yearsssss ago) and I’m super excited to see you get settled into our wonderful country 🌱 🐶
So happy for the new video! Greetings from Costa Rica 🇨🇷
Muchas gracias Cinthya! Espero que todo anda bien en Costa Rica! Pura Vida!
That reunion had me in tears! beautiful video!
Aww thank you Kristen! We're so happy to have him back!
@@AlexanderAyling I'm moving home to NZ myself in March! Your videos have really helped me. So excited to go home!
Fantastic way to start the day. Happy for you guys :)
Aww thank you Anna! Hope you have a great day!
Kia ora, As I just commented on Carrie's channel I'm so happy for all three of you and can't wait until I'm picking up my kitties at quarantine in Auckland (3-5 years) when I move back. Lanka is wonderful and such a beautiful boy. I got all teared up seeing all three of you be back together. Ngā maniakitanga/best wishes.
Welcome to Aotearoa New Zealand Alex, Carrie and Lanka! My husband and I moved from the Middle East to the UK and then back to NZ 6 years later with our two rescue cats on both occasions. A very expensive and complicated experience (especially that first move) but well worth it. We also used Pet Haven - they’re amazing! This was all
pre Covid so I admire your braveness and determination going through the visa process, relocation process and pet relocation during Covid times! Very gutsy x
Fantastic news Guys!! He looks really happy to be home and in safe hands. Congratulations, from the bottom of the South Island 😉👍
Cheers Craig!! Are you down in Bluff?
@@AlexanderAyling Hi Alex... very close, Invercargill 😬.... Welcome home 😉👍
I moved my two Shiba Inu's from Australia to New Zealand with me when I came over. Very expensive but so worth it, never leave fur babies behind. Enjoy your cuddles with him, would love to meet him one day!
Such a joyful video!
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Once you guys knelt down I cried 🥰😭
❤️❤️☺️☺️
Ok so I totally cried, lol. Welcome home Lanka! ❤️
Aww thank you Heidi!
I have been waiting for this episode and am sooooo happy you are all reunited again I am such a sucker for our adoring pets who are our family yaaayy Lanka is home 😁
This video made me so happy 😍 we relocated our dog from Aus to UK and it was the best decision ever!
Aww glad you reunited with your pooch
Yaaaaay, welcome home Lanka!!!
The family together again!!
🙌🏼
incredibly cute dog.
Dogs give us so much love. We're having hot, sunny weather here, so I hope he isn't too hot.
The process of moving an animal countries is super hard! I moved my cat from Australia and even though there was no quarantine, the process was not easy. Well done for navigating the process and the effort has obviously paid off with you being reunited with the amazing Lanka!
Thank you!! :)
Hey! I’m from the US and I’d like to move to Australia in a couple of years. We’re you concerned about your cat at all during the flight? I keep feeling like I’m terrified that she won’t survive the plane ride in cargo for 14 hours :/
@@LJ-xu6yz I moved my cat from
Australia to New Zealand so it was only a 4 hour flight. In saying that, my cat does not travel well (even a 2 min car ride to the vet is a traumatic event) and he survived.
So cool to watch your beautiful Lanka big smile!!!
Glad you got that one sorted out!
Good content,glad your pet arrived safe. i can see your fiting into NZ life,jandals and all. :-)
Thank you! Jandals or none haha
Aww, I used Pehaven when bringing my rescued street dog & cat back from Taiwan 8 years ago. They were the only place available then but I think they did a wonderful job. Your video really reminds me of picking up my girls as it was the same time of the year. :-)
Awww so cool!
Thank you for creating such great good quality content! Altough I do not own a pet now, I have enjoyed this wholesome video very much 😊
Thank you for watching Adela 🙏🏼❤️
Just started watching your channel amazing content of the home of new Zealand welcome and stay safe Kia Kaha
Thank you Renee!
Great story guys.
Our Labrador Retriever, Tilly, wishes lucky Lanka a happy new life in New Zealand.
Awww thank you Tilly!
He’s so beautiful 😍 I hope he’s enjoying it here 👋🏽
