Great video - just wanted to add that, in terms of wages, I think NZ has been catching up with Australia over the last few years. I just moved from Oz to NZ and I'm earning the same here.. The minimum wage in Australia used to be about $3 more per hour than in NZ a few years ago. Now in 2022 it's about the same ($21.38 p/hour in Aus & $21.20 p/hour in NZ).. I'm living in Queenstown right now and pretty much every single job pays at least $25 an hour. Office jobs in cities like Auckland and Wellington are paying around $25-$30 an hour.

This video couldn't have been timed better as I've been debating Australia vs New Zealand for a few weeks now and still haven't decided 😂Thank you for making a video like this 😂🙏

New Zealand is better

[@janicelalala6559]

I want to get a visa for of these places from the USA. I'm kinda nervous because I'll be by myself. If anybody else is going we should totally meet up!!

[@Zoidbergirl]

To WORK definitely Australia, just check the pay comparison. NZ living cost is INSANE .

great backpacking advice. But the "let's go BANANAS" shirt stole the show for me!

[@chinaexploration2628]

beautiful eye!

[@Gunnercv]

Very interesting

[@shipsintheknight3]

This was the exact video I was hoping to find! Thank you for your advice. I really appreciate it. As someone who's newly interested in solo travel/backpacking, all of your videos have been super inspirational and educational.

From the East coast of Australia, NZ is only about 3 hours away by plane....so you can have the best of both worlds if you're willing to take some time off and book a flight.

Thank you for this video. I'm on my working holiday in NZ at the moment and I'm thinking about doing a year in Australia as well. This definitely helped making my decision easier!

[@IsakFriberg]

Thanks for the tips. The way you make it sound so simple to do really makes me want to go there!

[@kyramioso]

Great, informative video! I'm doing a WH in NZ and super excited

[@alifefullofmornings4446]

Thank you so much for your advice! This helped me decide where to go :)

[@orubeburo]

Very helpful video. I'm trying to move to Australia with my current company that I work for and your video helped me clarify a few aspects. Thank you :-)

[@wishbone1644]

This video was so good it had answers to questions I didn't even know I had! Thumbs way up

[@xxfiloxx]

Thanks for these Christi. I love these content

[@selenacruz754]

Rewatching your old content as I plan on working and traveling in Australia for a year and then New Zealand for another; backpack Southeast Asia, Europe and Central America after and return home

[@somoto9917]
