Good morning from Cape Town. Thanks for your content. My wife and I both have been offered a health care post. It will be a culture shock but we doing the move for our little one. You've helped us tremendously with the info. Thank you once again
Hey Ryan, great to hear your process is progressing well. All the best with the big decisions ahead, feel free to reach out if we can offer any assistance. Thanks for watching😀
Thanks so much for your honesty! Timezones and distance are hard definitely and 4 and a bit years later I can't say it gets much easier unfortunately. Best advice is have a standing WhatsApp video call or zoom setup on even a weekly basis with close family back home 😊 that's how we manage it currently 🤗
I recently moved to Denmark, the weather is still good but I am aware that sun is very shy to come out. Housing all over and the standard of living has become a challenge, well nothing compared to South Africa as it is still fairly reasonable that side.
Always followed your vids, fellow ,🇿🇦 I keep on saying the same thing, plus the videos we watched to amp us up about this place were recorded on that one or two sunny days, lol.
I can see a shift in your energy compared to your previous videos, and it seems like the reality of living in New Zealand is starting to set in. I am currently in New Zealand, exploring the possibility of moving here, but not committed yet. Before coming, everyone painted New Zealand as a perfect paradise. However, the reality is quite different. The people here are not particularly friendly, often coming across as stuck-up, and there's a lack of helpfulness. Companies are biased, frequently overlooking applications unless you have connections within the company. You always hear that New Zealanders get first preference, but many locals seem reluctant to work. The cost of living, including housing, food, and rentals, is unbelievably high, especially with the country currently in a recession. Companies expect you to start at the lowest level, regardless of your previous management experience. Many others portray an idealized version of life here just for social media likes, but you guys are keeping it real and honest. Good job, and I completely agree with your perspective after experiencing it myself.
Couldn’t have summed it up any better ourselves, you make some really good points and we can completely relate. At the end of the day we always remind ourselves that we are very blessed to be able gain this experience and wherever we may end up it would serve us well. Thanks so much for watching.
Hey Murray, thanks for sharing your experience with us. Great to know that it does get easier. Your story is really quite encouraging and glad to hear you have settled so well. I guess it all depends on your situation, ours is very specific to our situation and perhaps not a reflection on all those coming after us. Thanks for watching, cheers.
