- After visiting 100 countries and being guided by this specific goal for a long time, we are now left thinking about the next phase of our lives. Come along in today's video as we reflect on our future and the second half of our twenties while exploring New Zealand's second largest city of Christchurch and its surroundings. We then fly north to the country's largest city of Auckland and the North Island✨
We're trying something new in today's vlog. Let's see if you guys can figure out what it is and if you like this new style🙏❤️
We are Oskar & Dan, two Swedish guys who decided to change the course of our lives, drop out of university, and live life full-time🧔🏻👱🏻♂️ We've been together for eight years and have been traveling together pretty much since day one✈️ We're trying to see and learn as much about the world as possible before we settle down somewhere in the world👨👨👧👦 In 2022, we completed our goal of visiting 100 countries at the age of 25🌍 Check our TH-cam About page for more details👨🏼🤝👨🏻❤️

11:01-11:39 Thank you, you're the best!
This video is slightly different than usual, hope guys like it❤ (Tbh, you may not notice much of a difference but it felt v different editing it🤣) In any case, we love you guys!!!
Hey Sofia!
Like the slightly new style. 👍🏼
Here you go! th-cam.com/video/uGlTAULXZyE/w-d-xo.html Greetings from Greece!
Loved this video. Christchurch is my home town, and interesting thing is that 70% of the centre of town was demolished after a massive earthquake nearly 12 years ago. The centre of the city has struggled to get the population back that it once had, so it seems fairly dead. I love your editing style, I’m planning on using your story board format and shot ideas, when I produce videos on our next trip to Italy and Spain. I’m currently using LumaFusion but have Final Cut installed on my Mac so I will start to learn that from now on overall I have loved your video series on New Zealand so much and I am thrilled that you have found our country very beautiful and friendly. Safe travels
Was it faster transitions? Not too much difference tbh, but still appreciate the comic sans commentary on the vids
I am so glad you are enjoying my little country so much. I left Canada in 2011 to move here and is still amazed by what I continue to discover. Cannot wait to see what you think of Auckland (and would have loved a small review on your Air NZ flight as I work for the airline) Ka kite anō (Thanks and good bye)
Next time you guys go...a stop in Wellington is well-worth it to me. I think it gets overlooked. I love seeing you guys discovering my favorite place in the world.
Loved this!!! You guys are my favorite! Being so young and informed of the world is amazing!!!!
❤️❤️❤️ Thank you🙏
I'm glad you're enjoying your stay and relaxing on your journey, thanks for sharing
Even though I may not have the chance to visit New Zealand, your content video feels like we are with you guys. Thank you very much Oskar and Dan!!!
Why don't you have?
Blir på riktigt glad varje gång jag ser era videon. 😊❤ Förresten, gillade stilen på denna video.
When you talk to us, quitting the sunglasses is appreciated. Thanks for all your wonderful videos
Sorry, we have very sensitive eyes😆 Will try to think about it!
New Zealand is definitely on my bucket list. It’s so green and beautiful there. I can’t wait to see Auckland.
Both styles of editing is great Oskar. However you want to do it!❤✈️
The editing looks great guys! I hope you continue sharing with us this new phase of your life that you're getting into I'm sure we're all excited to watch it.
idk if im just sleep deprived or not but i kinda prefer the former style. I like it when you guys just talk about how you experience the area more. I personally watch you for your stories since theres lots of media abt diff biomes already. It's cool that you're switching it up tho and experimenting and stuff! You guys deserve to immerse yourself in peace as much as you want. I guess it comes with traveling through so many places that you'd just want to be in the moment more.
Appreciate the input!
Thanks for coming to New Zealand and comparing New Zealand to European counties it helps me know more about them
Oh wow! I live in Christchurch :) half Kiwi/ Portuguese. It takes SO long to get here from Europe, but worth it! Hope you had a good time and that the earthquake repair/ damage in Christchurch didn't put you off coming back. It's an interesting city, also around the river is beautiful. Have a nice time both, come back soon!
Dear Oskar and Dan , I love your videos!!! Thanks for sharing . NZ is in my bucket list . Take care!
That initial dance just cracks me up so so much.
I really like this new type of content you guys have been putting out. I love planes AND travel so it’s really cool between your two channels! Keep doing what you’re doing, I love your content!!!!!
Great video guys, definitely enjoyed the way it was presented 👍
I adore NZ, both islands are awesome, have fun in the North x
Lovely some places I haven't gone to,thanks for sharing love New Zealand.
Living in a very different part of the world where people worry about such life basics and live in a very low frequency, wishing tomorrow won't be worse than today! watching you guys always brings me peace and calm, and watching what you are able to do, and where you are now, gives me a big hope in life, and it reminds me how life is great and beautiful and motivates me to do my best to be able to see the world, I've been following you for a long time, every vlog is different and unique, I feel like being there having these experiences with you, you are doing so good, keep it up and keep giving us more joy and hope.
All the best😊🙌❤
Thank you Johnny and wish you all the best🙏❤️
I like the new style. Feels calming.
Loved this vlog! Haven't been to NZ in 30 years but thanks for bringing back Happy memories 🥰
Love you gus and also the videos!
Love it and hope you enjoy the north island 🥳
Love the caption of adventure episode
Beautifully filmed !
New Zealand has so many different types of scenery ! Enjoy your trip here. It’s a very sacred place, great for reflection. It’s a place that you need time to stop and appreciate everything :)
Great job! Enjoy! 🥰
Loved this new style of filming, also a little more personal in the story-telling. So proud of you, guys :)
So beautiful!
Beautiful. Whatever the future holds you're both so lucky to be able to experience it with a wonderful travel companion.
Thanks for the videos and please consider a coffee table book.
What would you want to see in the coffee table book?🙏
Can’t wait to see what’s next for you guys.
beyond incredible !!
I like the new style ... I can't wait to visit new Zealand
Loved the video! I appreciate the effort and so I feel a little bad that I couldn’t tell much difference. 😢 I’ll go back and watch an earlier one and then watch this one again. 😊
Thanks Oskar and Dan! I'm so glad you enjoyed the Banks Peninsula and also Christchurch!! But so happy you got to see my home city Auckland! Yes sorry you both arrived when we had the hurricane weather coming in (ugh 😔😔) but I hope you did manage to do some exploring around. If you ever return let me know and I'll be happy to welcome you both 💖💖💖
🙏🙏❤️
Love this video!!! 🩷🥰
So cool to see you in my country! Love from Napier
So just yesterday I watched you fly into my current home airport on Dan’s channel, now I watch you exploring where I spent my childhood (Banks Peninsular).. Loving your trip “down under”.. keep it up guys! But not too much, dont want to let our hidden gems get too popular!!! 😊
I hear ya, but NZ is still a bit too far to get trammeled by tourists.
Beautiful window on such incredible vistas. A life-changing experience. Reason, alone, to spend time on some introspection.
I can’t wait to see your epic video of Palmerston North! It’s always balmy in Palmy (f* yeahh!!)
Jokes aside, I have loved experiencing my home country through your eyes. Aotearoa truly is a unique taonga (treasure) of this earth. I am glad you were able to feel and be blessed by its beauty. In future visits, hire a car from Auckland and explore the Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Coromandel and Northland regions!
Love all your styles
That was awesome Boys,your editing skills just keep improving ,not surprising when you have such amazing scenery to film. I wouldn't swear to it ,but,I'd say,it was a little more "arty & introspective" than usual? But,it might also be that you've both really enjoyed this incredible experience;it's such a pleasure to vicariously follow you both. As ever very best wishes to you&yours💥👊❤💯👏👏👏💙💙👌⭐'s💯👋✌
Quite introspective. But, I suppose, that’s what travel is about. It makes one reevaluate the world and one’s role in it.
Your videos are still my favourite on TH-cam, I wouldn’t miss any single one ❤❤❤
🥺❤️❤️
Love it guys. I can’t wait to see the rest of this New Zealand adventure. Love and blessings from the United States!!❤️
I honestly couldn't tell... Maybe it was a little more Vloggy than usual but I still liked it!!
Looking forward to your rainy adventures!!
Hey guys you are in my top 3 of YT channels. I love the new style that is probably influenced by your introspection. The only thing I found a bit jarring was the zooming in & out at Lake Tekapo. I look forward to your next 100 countries :D
Top 3, wow thank you😍
GLORIOUS!
Thank you for going to auckland!!!
I liked this video a lot. Hawaii here, and I've been to Auckland just once.
GLORIOUS
Love the new style guys, but please bring back the 20 to 30 minute videos! ❤❤
Lovely video. It’s always nice to see my home country, I was out there last year visiting family. Yes, the plants and flowers are more colourful in NZ. You would of definitely felt the difference in temperature in Auckland. Way too hot for me. 👍
definitely keep this editing!
Thanks for visiting my hometown
The new style of video is great !
Thanks Howard!
Really hoping you guys have missed this horrible weather we're being plagued with. It's such a shame that you're here while all of this is going on. NZ summer is usually really beautiful. This is very out of the ordinary for this time of year. Hope you're not stuck!!
Just wait for the next video...🤣
@@OskarandDan i can just see what's going to happen. You get stranded at the airport waist deep in water? Oh nooooo!!!! It's so unfortunate that you had to pick the worst time to come to your 100th country. Really so sorry!
CHRISTCHURCH IS BEAUTIFUL ✝️😍🕊❤️😊😇
Those 2 mountains behind you in the tekapo (said teck-a-po) shot are the two thumb range, and are the head of the rangitata tover rivr on the eastern side of them. Over the river is Samuel Butlers Erewhon Station. You Boyd have left so much to see and do. An hour north of Christchurch is the mountain village of Hanmer Springs where beautiful hot mineral pools ease all your aches and pains.
Love to take you to both places
It was different? Huh, i did not notice ... love your videos!
I Loved the video!!!!!! And honestly, even though it was 12 minutes long it felt like it was only 2 minutes. The editing was fantastic. It seemed like we didn’t see as much of Dan as we did Oskar, maybe that’s just me. The video felt subtle, calming and quaint, which could be a product of the environment in New Zealand, rather than what you were aiming for. Either way it was a awesome video. I love following you guys. You give me lots of ideas. I’m about to start a travel blog with my 11 year old identical twin boys and although we have done a fair bit of traveling we have never been to New Zealand, this beautiful place is now on the list for us. Now I’m off to watch your other New Zealand vlogs. Stay safe fellas. P.S The shots of the lakes and mountains definitely reminded me of Loch Ness, Loch Lomond and isle of skye in Scotland. I live in Washington DC and we don’t see that natural beauty, although the cherry blossom festival is beautiful lol 😂
Loved the video! I so want to go to NZ. You were listening to Miley Cyrus - You'll always find your way back home!
Another great video guys! Always great editing…and Hannah Montana! 😂😂😂
You guys must go out to Waiheke island off Auckland. Look it up! Im sure you'll love it there. It's a very beautiful place, lots of great accommodation, it's for foodies and wine lovers!
New Zealand is absolutely on my bucket list. I have watched many videos on it, but you guys did a really great job in showing the beauty that is New Zealand! Your headline had me a little worried that this was the last hurrah for travel! I haven't been through all your videos, in fact I have so many yet to view, which is awesome. However, did you ever do a comprehensive video on Sweden and Goteburg in particular through the eyes of two Swedes? I would love to see that! It's always nice to see what the natives show.
We have one video from Sweden so far😆 It's from the very south, one of our favorite areas!
I like how you had a lifestyle epiphany in Aotearoa. It tends to happen.
It's a shame you didn't make it to Nelson, Sunshine capital of NZ,Golden Bay is pretty spectacular.
Nice video.
I always do at least 2 tours in every place I go to. 1 food tour or cooking class, and one walking /History tour.
Welcome to Auckland. You guys must be here during December, unfortunately we had one of the worst starts to summer in a long time. Bon Voyage.
Things got rainy🤣 But we still enjoyed it as you'll see!
I was born and grew up in Christchurch hope you both liked it
Love this country
Bringing back memories from my trip to NZ that happened almost exactly 4 years ago (in Feb). I went on a boat tour in Akaroa, but I drove from Queenstown and back and flew back ot Auckand from there. I did, however, like the north islad better than the south island. Of course, the first thing I found by accidend on my first day was a little German restaurant run by a woman from Berlin. And I am from Berlin, but now live in Arizona... Can't wait to go back...
I love this video as well all the rest of them. Well? Regarding the song... It wasn't, Do you know the way to San Jose 😉
I can't wait to see what the North Island looks like! The South Island looks stunning and seems to exude a really calm/peaceful vibe. 😊 I'm with you on vegan restaurants as well! Over here in the Netherlands, it feels like you either have places where you have 1 vegetarian dish on the menu (somehow that almost always ends up being a goat cheese salad) or on the other end of the spectrum places where dandelion juices wouldn't be out of place. 😁
Dandelion juice🤣💀
It is a higher quality video guys. Bravo!! You might think of staying put in New Zealand?
We wish it wasn't so far away from everyone!
This also reminds me of certain parts of the pacific north west in the U.S.
Christ would have loved to eat at Lord of the Fries in Christchurch 😊🙏✨️🌈
Go to Matai bay next time! I go camping there every year but because I live just outside of Matamata on a dairy farm it’s a 7 hour drive up 😢 but totally worth it
Great video!! Didnt really feel the diference to be honest.
It is good as always.
Thanks Will🙏
Man why do all my favourite TH-camrs have to visit my city whilst I’m overseas 😭 interesting you said Christchurch looks Scandinavian though, never really thought about that. Anyway, glad you had a great time in NZ and hit some good weather, can’t wait to see you back here some day!
Sorry😭❤️
Great video. Next time you must visit Wellington which was rated the coolest capital in the world.
Your message regarding vegan food is very helpful to me. Mahalo.
You drove thru where live, geraldine
You are right! It looks similar to Nordics.❤❤
Love from pakiatan❣🇵🇰 brothers
Soon i am coming newzealand🥰 insshallah.
One piece of advice with editing. Sometimes you only show a shot for like a second and it’s hard on the eyes. Maybe slow it down just a tad. Also, the focus jumps around sometimes when you are speaking, like the shot in the car. Not complaining. Your videos are amazing. Thank you for showing us the beautiful scenery.
Point well taken❤️
Suggestion: Go to Mt Hikurangi its the first point in the counrtry (and world) that sees the sun
Funny how you guys mention Swedish closing time; To my New York senses, it was very painful when I was in Sweden! Haha. Lesson learned.
As two Swedes it's painful in Sweden🤣
@@OskarandDan Everything in moderation Dan & Oskar, as you'll well understand being half-Swedish. Human connection is far more important than the length of shopping hours. Slow down and b-r-e-a-t-h-e. You're not in Asia, North America or parts of Europe. Many of us kiwis have nordic ancestry, like you, from 19th century immigration. Dutch too. In addition to british and polynesian, asian ancestry. Lends a certain 'low key' sensibility to the kiwi culture. Not for everyone admittedly. Lastly your comments on tour prices? Prices are cheap in Asia for a multitude of reasons such as labour, sheer volume of tourism and importantly (in some place) differences in health and safety legislation (compliance with).
Surreal beauty! Did you guys ever visit Lake Toba in Indonesia? That's another huge volcanic crater right there. Such gorgeous nature (and a bit more affordable ;-) )
Lots of great and surprising vegan food choices in Thailand. I found many on the HappyCow app that lists places across the globe. 👍🏻😃🙏🏻
Thailand is the BEST🥲🙏
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍vidéo Tooop . Merci . Bonjour du Maroc .
Hi Guys. Was it more "talk to the camera" rather than voiced-over afterwards? Either way, your videos are hugely watchable and informative. Safe travels.
I'm new to the channel, but wondered if this video "flowed" more than the few previous ones I've watched...
Wow! It's beautiful flowers in lake Tekapo. Which month did you go? I would like to visit when these flowers are blooming. Thank you for sharing your adventures! 😄
December🙌
You definitely want to visit NZ in the summer (Dec-Feb) or spring if you have to, autumn and winter are miserable here 😂.
@@joshuav9005 it’s not that bad! Lil windy though. I’m an ex Canadian living in Chch so I’m happy with any weather that isn’t shovelling snow daily 😂
@@carlystevenson950 Chch gang, there are definitely more brutal winters than ours, I was recently in the UK and thought their winter would be the same, but it was bone chilling cold. For tourists the best time to visit is summer or spring though since you wouldn’t get the flowers in winter and NZ is just stunning in general in summer.
@@joshuav9005 Agreed! Love the summer here. Hoping that it’s when my family comes out to visit. The lupins at Tekapo and being able to swim at some spots would be mint :)
Planning to visit new Zealand in few months (winter). Would it be better to start off with south island first than the north?
😀🤔🤔I just got the association to "Lord of the Flies".🙃🙃🙃🙃
When I was in Christchurch in 2016, there was still a lot of visible damage from the earthquake in 2011. Has everything been rebuilt?
I definitely noticed the style change. That and the title had me worried you were wrapping up the channel given it is your 100th country.
We're just getting started🙌
Hi guys, Marg again from Australia! Re your travels moving forward, can i recommend you do it a little more slowly, as I’ve found it gives you more of a chance to get the true “feel” of a place, regardless of where you are in the world. I’ve just returned from an epic 14 week trip and in most places I stayed at least 5 days and some even 8! It was fantastic as that gives you loads of time to wander and explore without set plans, do a walking tour or three, discover all the hidden gems not all tourists know about and do a day trip or two to interesting places nearby. Just a suggestion…… Enjoy!
Yes we're definitely looking forward to a slower pace this year🙏
@@OskarandDan How exciting for you!! I look forward to seeing your upcoming videos then!! cheers,
Marg
I’m just watching this wondering if you guys got caught in floods in Auckland. Love your content.
What a beautiful place! The video seemed to "flow" better...it felt calmer. I'd like to see you explore the Scandinavian countries more.
