In this video, I’m sharing my top 10 reasons I genuinely love living in New Zealand — especially for my fellow South Africans who are thinking about making the move. This isn’t immigration advice (please do your own research), it’s just my real-life experience as someone who’s actually lived the expat teacher life and understands the excitement and the stress that comes with relocating. I wanted this one to be a positive, honest look at what makes New Zealand feel worth it for me. I talk through the things that stand out in everyday life here — the lifestyle, the general quality of life, and the kind of environment that can make starting over feel a little more manageable. If you’re weighing up whether New Zealand is a good fit, this video is meant to help you think through the “why” behind the move, not just the paperwork side. Watch it as a motivation boost, but also as a reminder to balance the dream with reality, especially when it comes to planning, costs, and settling in.
