I moved to New Zealand from the States in 1999, Lived in LA, Seattle, Hawaii. I Love it here. Kiwi's are really down to earth people. The government is stable. I think every American should travel at some point to see what else is out there, and experience other cultures.
Good luck Bro! 🤙
Churr. . Our government stable? Ok
@@mitchwest4060 Compared to USA, Russia, China, and a host of other countries NZ is stable IMO. Churrr..
Some people question our government because our government is all they know 😂😂😂 they don't live elsewhere to understand how good we got it..
Mean bro.
That’s mean as to hear bro, however most of us believe the housing crisis and food should be lowered by plenty.
I'm a 65 year old nana in New Zealand you will be welcome in my country good people are good people
If we can get him here.... Bet you got some of the best home baking he Eva eaten ...😁
One thing that separates you to the lady in the vid is your willingness to experience the culture here in a deeper connection. You literally react to the indigenous Maori culture, The Polynesian dawn raid, the NZ music and art like the haka etc to the food, the gangs, the laws, you literally doing your study because you want to and bloody hell you even watched the iconic movie we all love “once were warriors” . Get on the damn plane and get here Bruh
You obviously have not watch much of kiwiamerican. She often embraced the Maori culture in some of her videos.
Get on the plane and come visit. You’ll love it! You will nourish your soul in the ways you want to - whether it is through nature, whether it’s through meeting good people, or whether you have no idea what you’re wanting…New Zealand will nourish you in ways you didn’t know you needed it
here in New zealand retirement is 65.. shes talking about how we have retirement funds that accumulate throughout our working lives to enjoy later, you can also withdraw the funds for a first home earlier in life.. its called kiwisaver
Man im keen to see your vlogs when you finally come over here ill be watching all of em
🔥🔥🙏💯
When you finally come here! Just take it with a grain of salt! Just enjoy yourself! You'll love yourself for it!
Just go ahead and Book the tickets bro....
Just do it...
Ya know ya want too.
Ya got enough fans here in NZ to have free accomodation, probably driven around country and live a "True Kiwi" life as an American RUclipsr.....
Sounds like a no brainer a win win situation 😎 😎
Bang on NZ kiwi. He will just keep his money in his pocket as he would be well looked after. Kiwis are very acomadating
@@michaelmercer2440
Yep accomodation and transportation in top of south island and west coast from me.... Also I'm a gold miner 😎
I do want to 🤔🤔👀😂
He'll be looked after hard but if he wants to do his own chur thats algud too
@@nz_kiwi4836 hey thats awesome. gold miner. What part of the south are you. I do alot of metal detecting and am heading to hokitika come xmas to my parents
She was saying about negotiating holidays you don’t need to negotiate because by law you get four weeks a year. You also now get 10 sick days a year, they changed it because of Covid. Some jobs have long service leave where you get one or two weeks extra a year. New Zealand citizens, don’t need insurance to get health care, it’s free. Only thing that you have to pay for is the ambulance Which is $90, and to see your own doctor.
And dentistry 😭
You will love it here... You got tonnes of fans
I cant wait 😈
When you said “everyday” did you mean “everyday” lol 😂
This vid was made exactly for you bro lol.
I need to join your patreon to help you get to NZ!
Mann every single day 😂 but nah bro i deleted my patreon , i wasnt as consistent as i planned to be over there but if you do want to you can join the youtube membership its the same concept , if you do join thank you either way 💯🙏
Tbh we ain’t the same. America is ignorant. New Zealand’s heart could never. Some very loud minded people here, but generally light. If what you are saying about America is true, my dreams of going over to experience it have been crushed. I like my slice of heaven on this earth 😂
right on, fresh starts in new towns is awesome, being a dairy farmer in NZ for over 25 years dats lifestyle, i moved from the top of the Northland to southland, best move i ever did
I felt for you mbro, listening to your story about being scared of leather face getting you while delivering food, the only thing we used to be scared of was the damned ghosts everywhere
In Aotearoa bro, minimum wage is $20 an hour, when you paying people $800 for a 40 hour week, that has to be passed on.
Milk is $6 for 3 litres, manuka honey for 500g is like $15-$30 depends on if its on special, our food is expensive but once again we pay a minimum wage of $20 a hour, personally i think the top earners of the country dont pay enough tax and also theres too many loop holes for tax diversion.
Biggest thing that will get you far bro is when you go to peoples house's take your shoes off when you go inside, itsa respect thing here
Same if I made heaps enough money I'd just hand it out
Wouldn't know what to do with it lolhaha
$21.20
In terms of NZ being expensive. You touched on it with how far away we are and also since covid the price of food has gone up. A supply shortage of ships and containers worldwide due to consumer demand since the pandemic began had driven up freight costs, with the cost of shipping goods to New Zealand increased by 500 per cent in the past year. These costs were passed on to the cost of goods. The New Zealand market also has very little competition so prices can remain high as we have no other choice out there. In America, Europe etc you have a much bigger market with alot of international companies. Prices are lower due to competition keeping it that way. You also have wayyyy more people so supply and demand keep costs low. Convert your USD to NZD anyway and prices shouldn't be too bad for you here. I mean prices are high but we get paid pretty well. Minimum wage is about $22 NZD an hour. You can get cheap flights to Queenstown (from Auckland for example) on grab a seat (Air NZ website) for $79 one way. Book an apartment for $120+ a night and we'll go for about 4 days. We don't do what is advertised for tourists like bungy jumping, skydiving, jet boating etc unless it's a special occasion. We'll ski in Winter or visit wineries in Summer and do walks so it's not actually that expensive for us Kiwis to holiday there. We definitely work hard but also like to play hard and know the value of quality time. Most workplaces will force you to take a break if you have to much holiday leave owed to you as it's a health and safety breach so they need us to take a break and recharge
Love your content cant wait for you to come visit us here in Aotearoa come chill with Natives here and take in our beautiful country
We gotta a lot of drives like the one you explained in north Carolina rite here in n.z... you safe though here.
Yeah i wouldnt be as worried over there in nz , i cant wait to travel over there i hear the people are so nice too
book that ticket mbro.
come over and see the kiwi way.
In due time for sure 💯🙏
Nz is definitely expensive. Since inflation ive had to switch to budget brands and not get some of the things i used too like treats & junk food, i just get essential things now, yesterday i bought some snacks, essential oil, a lightbulb & disposable gloves and it cost me $55 for 11 items🙂
Manuka is Maori, a flowering native bush tea tree.thankfully bees love it and bring on the honey
Her comment it's the same as america is because she's never experienced the culture and indigenous people of Aotearoa, she's always stayed around the New Zealand pakeha, we have a different culture to them but get on as best we can. So yes she will find it's different if she went into the cultural side
I love your enthusiasm for coming to my Country, I would love to see you make it here for sure. I mention the following because I watch Kiwi Americans and the things below are things they have not commented on but you need to know.
If you want to tourist then you are in for a wonderful time but if you want to come to live and to work it can be rough. I have helped people from America settle in NZ and it took some time to get comfortable but your attitude of being an Entrepreneur is the right one, even today NZ is still the easiest place in the world to set up and run a stable business (I have two), there are countries that are easier but not stable, there are countries that are more stable but not easier, I believe we are the perfect balance of the two and we don't make it harder for internationals to get going either.
Leave your guns in America, we have guns, buy them here, you will need a license from here but if you are super keen it's not going to stop you is it? You will do what you have to do to use the tool.
We are super strong networkers, you have your blood family and then you have your 'Whanau' or tribe, made up of all the people you want to treat as family and you want them to treat you as family, this is where a lot of your opportunities will come from, so if you have no hobbies or sports interests or religion...get some, because joining a club or hobby group or church is the single fastest way of gaining true entry into NZ society, being insular is the fastest way to going back home. I was helping some German people try to settle and because they insisted on keeping to themselves they just couldn't build the business or land the jobs they needed, eventually deciding to return back to Germany. Being good at what you do is not enough, you need to show people you value them for them to value you. We don't have a massive amount of people in NZ so every customer you gain is gold, every customer you ruin is worse than lead. We talk, we know who does what and how good they do or don't.
Kia ora, keep doing these.
i listen to so many scary stories which are supposed to be true over in the US all i can say is dam being a delivery boy going to places out in the wooded areas
My sweet young man, you need to know Manuka Honey originated in NZ.
It's not expensive, she shops at the expensive places. Look after yourself and the enviroment, that's the 'bigger picture'. Fear is alot of wasted time and energy brutha. I love this lady, she's a nice American lol
Love your vids they always lit thank you very much for the work you do my bro chur
Bro
If you want to come to New Zealand you're gonna have to get your vaccinations before you come here or at least test negative from a COVID
So i can just test negative and i should be fine?
look it up.. the govt be harsh here on covid..it might be late enough the vax part might not matter this late.. but at first it was mandated
@@Twano2am - no! You need to prove you have been fully vaccinated to come to NZ. You won’t even be allowed on the plane, even if you have purchased your tickets. For us kiwis, full vaccination is two shots plus at least one booster. That takes time.
My son lives in Australia and is an anti- vaccer. He can return to New Zealand to see the family.
As a New Zealand citizen, he has the legal right to return home.
However, he won’t be able to go back to Australia ( where he owns a home and has a job) because he is not vaccinated.
He has a decision to make, what’s more important- family or the vaccine.
There is plenty of information on the internet- just make sure you are reading the New Government official websites on travelling here. There is a lot of miss information out there, so do the mihi.
Happy travels, you are going to have an awesome time, and get to experience what living in a multi cultural community should be.
I’m not claiming we are perfect but having been to the states a few times, and having Afro American friends, I have an appreciation of what it is like to be for you guys; and how different our countries attitudes are.
We value family and work/life balance. We are expensive, but it is normal for us, so we just live like this. Working pay, island so shipping costs. If you get out of major cities, land/housing is cheaper.
A consumerist society means its open 24 hrs a day, nothing closes, NZ goes to sleep at night, all shops (except for sum supermarkets and fuel stations) are closed
This might be long.
When you mention about the health system, the Dr's, Nurses, Orderlies and other staff get paid by the Government, in emergency situations the cost normally would be only parking and a small price for an Ambulance (EMT/Paramedic), non emergency situations and you would be put on a waiting list (again, no charge), the only way to skip the waiting list is to go private and that means Health Insurance or pay out of your pocket.
The Government pays them from our taxes.
The Income tax rate should not exceed 20 - 25%. The consumer tax, which is included with everything consumer related used to be 12.5% as Goods & Services (GST) but has since increased to 15%, whereas I believe in America that depends on each state and is more a hidden cost.
The housing market and consumer goods here are getting rather pricey, but there are ways to avoid those rising prices - Supermarkets - go online and see which have specials, make a comparison and write down a list and from where; the Housing market - the closer to a big city, the more expensive the costs, the further away you go the cheaper it becomes, but that is countered by the travel distance. The majority of crimes happen in big cities, as evidenced worldwide. Another way to save money is to grow your own vege gardens and fruit trees.
For the most part we are non materialistic, we prefer Quality over Quantity, Simplicity over Complexity. We also like to do DIY (Do It Yourself), an example is building a fence - if you build it yourself and it looks like trash, you will have a sense of pride because you did it yourself and not paid someone else to do it, any mistakes you make then you can learn from it and you can grow as a person.
I think it’s the same because we over here call it western culture… eastern is Asian culture… China, Korea Japan Thailand Vietnam so on... Then there’s the African culture, and island culture… in many forms… The western culture is England, America, Australia, Canada and New Zealand
But the difference is the indigneous in NZ has a lot more rights, Maori language is one of the official languages, and so it should be, whereas in all the other colonised countries they don't, and Maori have reached out to them to help them with their troubles against the Crown who to me are scum of the earth
You will be most welcomed ☺️
Bruh we have just over 5 million people in Aotearoa. Not even a pimple on some of your biggest cities😂😂😂. The NZ dollar is 62ish cents US
Naumai Haere mai ki Aotearoa.
We welcome you ..
Money value in New Zealand is 2x less than American money. Our money makers are Tourism and exports. Cost of living is 2x more expensive than what an average New Zealand household income can make in a year.
I live in Sydney moved from Auckland NZ, no fear bro, go anywhere, no worries.
I been mia for a bit ,glad you finally hooked up with kiwiamerican
It is expensive here but it's not...
PEACE. BROTHER. AUSTRALIA. IN. THE HOUSE. 🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾
What Tara is saying is have a balance life. Good to work hard but being an workaholic also destroy your soul and it makes you sick, bad mood etc then it is not worth it.
When she says consumerism is that on the whole, the culture here we do not need to keep up with the Jones ie you do not need to impress anyone, spend more than what you can't afford.
Thank goodness most do not care whether you are a millionaire or not over here
lets link up when you're here big dog!
i guess its kinda like the same because we dont just speak moari to eachother we just have a different slang like hi as in chur but in moari kia ora! but i think shes meaning like we speak english and also do some thing americans do and they do stuff that we do aswell. Bro cant want until you come to new zealand, if u come im sure u will be welcomed niceky and u will fit in and maybe come up to the north island to rotorua we got amazing spots you can check out like mud pools and geysers etc. kia ora bro hopefully you see this and maybe do some more research on moari culture! love bro keep it up!!
Like your merch bro, esp the hoodie, need size 3xl for the biggies 😂
Nz isnt cheap. Its partly tyranny of distance, where a long way from anywhere. However the exchsnge rate is v much in the favour of the us
It’s the same because we both act like the English not each other
Ah yeah see i be thinkin america just so special lol thats crazy i just caught myself doing that
It's the same coz we both have Maccas
That food delivery story sounds scary af! Hills have eyes kinda shit.
I follow this lady on RUclips
We're very expensive... let's just say it's $5 for an ice cream sundae at McDonald's
The system simply exists to support its own existence...not humanity..Kia Kaha my bro
No fear. Never seen a gun in my life. Most local people I know don't lock their doors.
we are an expensive country because of how remote we are from our trading partners thats the most of why its expensive here. but its not too bad lol
We are the same, both the us and nz are former brittish colonies, speak english and are liberal democracies
PEACE. FAMILY. ITS. ALL. GOOD. BROTHER. WELCOME. TOO. AOTEAROA. MY. BROTHER. OUR. GREATS. WERE. SLAVES. MY. BROTHER.
Dont mention the Currency rates, and buying property,
n jelly tip ice cream, or hokey pokey,
do you think a Picnic on Mt Te Aroha is a saFe idea?
Our fear rn as a country is volcanos erupting and earthquakes... and COVID outbreaks.
Bro. Take a look at primal pursuit NZ youtube. Ollie craig makes awesome diving videos and gathers all sorts of food. Fish. Crayfish. Shellfish. He takes some awesome footage. Let me know if you like it. Bless
Like most cultures, we do follow certain American trends. However, many of the similarities probably stem from our European history.
Although, for the more recently established cultural norms, New Zealand likely is influenced by America, and not the other way around.
we're expensive because of the logistics/shipping, yeah.
Manuka Honey is between 10 and 50 dollars depending on the different batches etc. for 250-500g
Budgeting is a big thing here, you figure out your weekly/fortnightly income then work out rent, bills etc. then budget in food (throw an extra chunk of money in this estimate incase) then you have whatever is left to buy stuff or save up or whatever.
we don't really have the "buy all this crap" "buy water in bottles for some reason" "buy shoes" stuff crammed in our faces.
when you react to these kinds of videos, let the video finish a point before pausing the comment etc. because you often ask questions that are answered in the sentence you paused on 😂
I'm a beekeeper in New zealand and 50 is so over priced, worse I've seen ones for 100... manuka for 500g is worth about $15
people are too greedy and ruining the market.. dont pay more than $20 per 500g
@@reneejones5675 yeah 50 is a no-buy for sure, but they are still out there.
I just get the cheap stuff in the plastic cup for like $9-10 or whatever
You want to come then come bro...hook up with our Maori people we will take care of you... I'm sure others will too...
You dont need a gun bruv....
I love the way this lady has cons in NZ coz it is different
And we definitely love American lifestyle, pop cultures hip hop being number 1
Ain’t gna lie she deadass dragged that video smh
Come to New Zealand Bro you'll love it, Time is counting down for living life to the Full. Enjoy it while you can, And get things right with the Lord.
Her experience will be different to yours 🥰 the country is open now so get on the next flight😊
I blame colonisations for everything being the ‘same’ in her perspective. Not allowed to speak our own language back in the day and some of our own cultural practices, even practising our Maori learning had been kept out of the school curriculum. Quite sad, we don’t know how to be our own culture to its full extent. In my opinion I believe we listen to the same music because it is good shit to listen too but it’s also relatable and life experiences were similar. No where near as dangerous and we weren’t particularly slaved in our country but forced to change our ways of living or suffer the consequence of death at foreign hands. But I always wondered why we don’t speak our own language like the rest of the world (asides America) and i strongly feel it’s because that dude. Captain cook took a step on our land and ruined the future itself. i don’t know lol. We would’ve been better off living how we did back in the day than living how we do now. I love the idea of living off grid. Care free. Fuck all the unnessecary shit.
7 minutes in ! Twano your not listening ! She's talking values and shifts in awareness, I'm glad your eager, !
My fault
We're not a perfect country, but with a sweet as attitude we are a minority towards the bad and ugly of everyday life, just lile the rest of the world.. just less of it...
😆 if you can handle 4 seasons in a day, make the trip bro, stay a year you might find something...Make a move while your young bro..
Peaceful - Gen X( NZ 🇳🇿 ) 🤙
'Moving To New Zealand' check out this channel, South African family living in NZ point of view
For real people still getting lynched!? That's messed up man. And yeah stuff is generally more expensive because we're far from most places.
hi twano! can u do a vid of u reacting to new zealand pies please? its all good if u dont wanna. thank you
If your thinking coming to New Zealand...please don't. I have see other previous videos of yours..you talk down to kiwis.
lol I be in New zealand planning my own workaholic goals.. it be universal if you have a brain lol
💜💜💜💜
What is your twitch
Twitch.com/twano2am
Twano2am on twitch
How many days?🤣
Mahi hard, Play harder 😁
👍👍👍
We are exspencive because we have the best of everything. Our food is great and there is nothing to fear
American culture has influenced kiwi culture spesh the Pacifica Maori community. Our prisons are American designed and our motorways are azwell. The only difference that would be noticeable is you r coming to a country that has 5mil tops people compared to 3- to 400 million in the 🇺🇸. There are a lot of different cultures in aotearoa (nz) but the Maori are native to the land, so learn a Lil about our history about Maori war and how it has influenced the outcome of what u see in aotearoa(nz) today. It's easy to be kiwi u just need to say a corny slang sayings of ours like chur bro, upto ow, yeah nah ect but if you want to be real I encourage you to learn the Maori culture, u will be greeted with a Hongi which means both party's press nose together in a act of a spiritual connection, becoming one spirit one mind one people
Race boundaries no longer exists we r one. You will see our country is not like this because kiwi people they know Hu they r don't acknowledge Maori culture.any great vis az always
Go live with a Māori family hahaha for reals tho
God is coming soon
Hey bro, no doubt, that was your most annoying video for me, i have watch a few, Jake the muss for example, i understand it was a reaction video, but you interrupted every 2mins, bro!.... other than that i enjoy watching your video's, please dont chop it up so finely so that we cannot get the full gist of what you are reacting to... lastly i hope you make it to Aotearoa, this land of the long white cloud, apart from just this video so far i love your content... Chur cuzzy
Get out of the big cities. And you will only find love peace and poverty. The real new zealand is the best version of this country :-)
Book the ticket. Get out of there.
I need to!!
You need to get RUclips premium my dude 😆🤣👍
That's probably what they won't
As they keep censoring him lol
can please do a reaction video for “ GET IT YKF FT 4NGIE20 “ promise you won’t be disappointed 💯💯💯!!!!
Hey bro can you please do a reaction video for “ GET IT YKF FT 4NGIE20 “ promise you won’t be disappointed 💯💯💯just got posted couple days ago!!!!!!
crypto can make lots, but i wouldn't invest in stocks without knowing more about it.. it can crash super fast and the most successful people buy at low points and sell at high points..
Twano kaure E korero
Would you stop talking
Bro, let the woman speak, lol. You really do talk alot and fast as. Slow down bro and breathe. 🙂🙃😉
bro you talk to much ruin the vid
You talk to much mate
We're different from you American people, you'll never get it until you live it, if it's not for you stay in USA, don't judge us
Amazing how 21-year-olds know everything and always more than people who have been alive two or three times older than them. Life is a lot like gambling. Do not gamble with assets you can't afford to lose. If you can't afford to stand a loss then DON'T gamble. Like, leave you job thinking you're going to get a better one only if you can afford for things to fuck up.
I'm not gonna lie does that mean you lie a lot.
Americans live and die by the philosophy that life isn't fair, but in America at least you're free. You're free to fuck up and have no-one care because life isn't fair and we don't owe you anything or to look after you because you're free to succeed or fail and if you fail that's your fault because you had the freedom to succeed but you failed, so, why is that my problem if YOU fucked up. Life ain't FAIR, and we're going to make sure it isn't. And anyway, at lease you're free, which is the most important thing in the world.
