    I found when i lived overseas the hardest thing is not to keep comparing prices for everything to where you came from. Once you eventually stop doing that everyday, then you realise youve suddenly more settled. It takes a while.
    Also i would think coming from South Africa or indeed most countries, you gotta get a lawnmower! Damn grass grows fast here😀

    I miss the Bushveld and Woolies. My husband and I moved over in 2017 and we love it. Our Residency application is now with a case officer, so please keep us in your prayers 🙌🏻

    An interesting video, but I'm here to say that I've been doing your "five minute gardening" - and it's great! I actually feel I can get on top of it now. Thank you for the idea, and hope you are well.

      Congrats! Definitely make a few trips to check out other areas, Auckland has a different feel for sure, besides being so much more expensive.

    The video is extremely useful, strongly informative as well as helpful. I would like to thank you Jenn, for sharing the video of the interview on your RUclips Channel.
    In addition, I would like to thank an interviewee as well for sharing the experience on the immigration process. Moreover, I have a question.
    Herein, is my question: What job qualification, did the husband of the interviewee applied for according to the job shortage list of NZ. Additionally, what was his age at the time of the job application procedure.

  • @mathewrichards7309

    My family lived previously in 3 countries so moving wasn't that bad and it was easier adjusting.

  • @mathewrichards7309
    @mathewrichards7309 4 года назад +1

    New zealand experience is BS because there is a skill shortage in NZ and there are no locals for the jobs.

    I emigrated from Russia to SA in 2002, I was 14, still get home sick. The crime here has become so scary, with two small kids, really wanna leave. NZ looks amazing and thanks so much for your videos, really helpful and informative! A lot of things in NZ are like in Russia, so seems great. Thanks ladies, both really helpful.

    @myweekendwanderlust6399 4 года назад

    I just feel more hopeful now again. We decided on NZ last year and started getting our post grad to qualify for visas.
    It’s still a long road ahead, but it gives me hope that Justine’s family also waited a while before they went over. I hear many stories of people being in NZ after 6 months of deciding.
    With homesickness.. I am currently in the middle of those 😂 to me it’s the people, beautiful blue skies, hearing birds and the smell of rain. Where we live now we don’t have a lot of that.
    I wish you both the best in NZ and thanks for sharing the journey.

      Not sure, it depends on your unique situation (which field you work in, how quickly you can get a job, which personal certificates you have to hand, etc).
