@@TheAudaciousPath yeah and just thier general outlook on life etc... I resonant with your life experiences, as many do I'm sure. It's just refreshing to see your open and honest dialogue 💙
@@TheAudaciousPath absolutely! It's funny you ask, because we're in the same city. Lived in Auckland 10 years now. Would be cool to bump into you on your local travels. I to frequently go out west and do those hikes.
Hiya daniella, hope all is well...😀👍 quite the up and down not sure if your coming or going 7yr journey you've just indured👏 , now your probably wondering where that 7yrs went🤔😂 so we'll done🎉 and thanks for sharing your story and being honest, as for "sailing" if its got a fishing rod and a box of Waikato beer on it I'm in...hehe🤣😂 take care my friend :)✌️
The seven years certainly flew by! I’m amazed actually. Can’t believe I’ve been here that long! I’m glad you enjoyed the story. I hope it may help anyone else contemplating this move. Hehe. I feel ya. I’ve been loving the fresh fish here! Just caught a Mahi Mahi on my passage back from Fiji! 💜💜💜
I hope he’s doesn’t, but yea, karma will come around. I think she did believe me at first, but then she went home and panicked. In all fairness, it did prompt me to evaluate how I may have been in appropriate in the past, even if joking. I hope he learned. Who knows? 🤷♀️
Looking forward to meeting you when i areive to New Zealand. I wanna come as a tourist and look for a job, get one and settle there. Please leave me your contact to talk to you more kindly
Awesome, you’ll love it here hopefully. Sorry, I do not give out my contact info, but I do occasionally organise a meet up from my Instagram stories. 💜
@@TheAudaciousPath sorry I should have been more specific when I left this comment. What I meant was my experience has been very similar when it comes to difficulties the country comes with because of it's culture and size. Specifically that it seems hard to make friends. All my friends are from overseas also and most of them have moved away again. I'm originally from Germany and not beating around the bush which most kiwis seem to have a problem with. This causes problems especially at work. Criticism is also getting taken as very negative instead of seen as a chance to get feedback and be able to make positive changes. Very high living costs, low salaries which don't allow to safe much. Therefore the need to share living space with others in mostly uninsulated, old even mouldy houses.
I feel ya. I had the same problem as an American for the longest time, but home when I go home, I find people too direct! I’m like, “Get to know me first before asking my political views!” I do hope you’re enjoying it here. 💜
@@TheAudaciousPath hehe... and also, after watching sailboats, i miss your sailing videos though... howz your husband doing... he had a surgery... rite?
I’m on a boat right now! Two or three episodes about sailing coming up soon! What’s your interest in sailing? Just for fun or are you a sailor yourself?
@@TheAudaciousPath naa... i love sailing, but never went on a boat... watching you and other sailors is like meditation for me... just traveling in complete silence, cut off from this caotic world and all you have to worry about is you and your boat... just love that... and no... i don't have the greens for sailing and in India, there are few to none sailor... so... cant do it actually... and i am your follower since you were active on your sailing channel... i came on this channel from that channel 😁😇😀
@arun_kumar0 it’s weird having starlink tho! Keeps you connected. Feels a bit weird, and it becomes up to the individual whether or not they want to disconnect or not. I hope an opportunity comes up for you to sail! 💜

It’s so good to hear because it can sometimes feel like a lonely journey. But I’ve definitely settled into a community these days.
Ever been to NZ?

I sometimes have happy hours in Auckland. Follow me on Instagram or Facebook if you want to join one. I always post about it in my stories. 💜
Glad you shared your life with us

That is the kiwi thing to do Danni!
Thats what I do!
The spare of the moment thing is only the best.
Haha, I'm super good at spur of the moment. That's my style for sure!!! 💜💜💜
Very interesting! I moved to Australia after living in NZ for almost 4 years. Missing NZ tho!
What part of the AU? Id love to go over there for a couple of years (but then return!)
Firstly Melbourne and now I’m in Brisbane. Doesn’t rain as often as in Auckland 😂
@@pinchegato3370 Which do you prefer of the two? I left Auckland a few months ago!
@@pinchegato3370 I bet! I’m up north now and the rain is crazy!
Hey, I live near that marina, never been sailing lol
Hehe! Well that's gonna have to change, unless you get seasick! 💜
Congratulations, Daniella! 7 years!
Kia Ora!
Thank you! I honestly can’t believe it. It’s the longest I’ve lived in one place since I was 12! 💜💜💜
If that guy acted that way to you,and his wife didn't believe you, don't worry, he will get caught out,he will do it to someone else.
I hope he’s doesn’t, but yea, karma will come around. I think she did believe me at first, but then she went home and panicked. In all fairness, it did prompt me to evaluate how I may have been in appropriate in the past, even if joking. I hope he learned. Who knows? 🤷♀️

@@TheAudaciousPath I grew so much since I've come to NZ but i think as soon as I have my citizenship I'll move back to Australia 🙈
I've never heard of putting up with someone that does that, maybe it was because you were new to the country.
You mean the bit about being harassed by the husband? It's a small world here in New Zealand. You have to be careful about what bridges you burn.
oh i thought you are from new zealand
Nah, I’m an expat. From the US originally. 😁💜
