  • In this episode, We have decided to purchase a self-contained car to live in during the summer months, we have disclosed the process in this video on how to get yourself a contained car and when is the best time to get one. We go through the process of how to get car insurance and what are the standards for driving on the streets. We also show you our first impression of PAK'nSAVE. This is a video series on our daily lives and life journey while living and working in New Zealand on a working holiday visa.

    The trip over to Waiheke island is well worth it.
    Take your car for about $130 return.
    Vineyards, cafes, bars, glorious beaches, stunning views and a more laid back vibe.
    You can freedom camp for two days and airb&b or camp ground for some more time.
    Also the west coast beaches are well worth a day trip totally different than Auckland's east coast, wind swept black sand and wild surf .

    • @GlenAndMado
      @GlenAndMado  หลายเดือนก่อน

      yeah no issues with the bank we opened! was a pretty smooth. basically just need a prove of an address so I would consider getting an airbnb with an address so you can use that. you can also probably use your IRD record as proof of address. I basically signed up for a phone provider and got them to print me out a phone bill with an address for me.

      hope life is good on the other side my friend! We think the prices are pretty insane compared to Australia, Ireland and Germany. at least more then half the price for goods in these countries. But lets not compare as we can't really due to the fact nz is quite isolated from the rest of the world so it makes sense.

      A 2005 Toyota Tarago (people mover) in Australia is currently worth between A$4000 and A$12,000 depending on its condition and level of trim. The market in Australia is a lot bigger than NZ so there is more choice. Sometimes the best way to pick up a cheap camper in Oz is to buy one from backpackers who are leaving the country they will advertise on backpacker facebook sites or on hostel notice boards..

    Eating out in nz is at least 40% cheaper than in most of western europe really not sure what you’re comparing it to? Average meal in France, NL , Belgium etc is at least 15- 20€ at a random place. You said on the first day food is more expensive when you didn’t even have the chance to have a proper look at average prices. Just keep in mind he is misleading you about eating out so don’t be scared if you re coming from Western Europe! (Fresh poduce in supermarkets are more expensive however)
