Hi, I am a kiwi , from Christchurch, I am so happy you love New Zealand. Good luck with your move. We are very friendly people.
Hey! Thanks for the welcome :)
We've been living in Christchurch for several months now and loving it. Let us know if you have any recommendations or requests!
Kia ora, welcome to you both and your family. Great idea blogging your journey down under hope it works out and others follow. Liked subscribed and shared best of luck
Thabk you so much for the warm welcome! :)
Loved the enthusiam that is spilling over despite your efforts to contain it. Welcome to Christchurch, you sound like just the sort of people we love to have visit/stay here.
We're loving it here!
Woot woot! First official commenter of this new great channel! We love you guys and cannot wait to get glimpses of your journey.
Welcome aboard!
Lovely family, i really love your vibe👪😊😊😊
Thank you!! 😊
Welcome to New Zealand it's cheap here if ur from a rich country but if ur from a poorer country then buy it there if it's cheaper u guys will love it here
Excellent video
Welcome to NZ. You will love the biscuits especially Mellowpuffs 😊
I Agree fully the mellowpuffs lol and other chocolaty goods, also don't worry to much if your money is low our government will top you up with cash,food,rent,clothes, tv,food,school,everything actually,
Sorry about the few homeless asleep on the footpath they actually choose to live like that because we have free/government payed housing for every single person aswell
That's two recommendations for Mellowpuffs. We're definitely going to have to find them!
To be honest, coming from Seattle in the USA, you folks have nothing even remotely approaching the level of homelessness there. Tents EVERYWHERE.
How long have you been in NZ now?
@@danekamo We arrived a few days before Halloween so about 4 months now!
Kia Ora we live in Wellington NEW ZEALAND ❤😊
We visited Welly back before having kids and LOVED it. Hope to make a trip up there soon!
Christchurch is a great city to live in. Enjoy the beach and outdoor life. I love living here.
The beginning of a very exciting journey! We wish you all the best. A very big hug for the whole family!
Thank you! We love and miss you guys already!

Don't know if you've come across a YT channel called Its A Drama, but you may find it helpful, they also run a slack group for people migrating to NZ, lots of Americans and Brits on there, you'll get good advice from people that have already done it. You'll love the South Island if you like the outdoors but you will find the first year very difficult, takes time to understand a new culture, meet people, get a routine etc. I'm from Dunedin, hope you get down there for a look around one day. Good luck!
Thanks so much! Yes, we've joined the It's A Drama Slack and it has been incredibly helpful! We'll definitely be visiting Dunedin!

I'm proud to be the first subscriber, your channel has grown a lot over the past month, keep it up!
Thanks for subbing!
Welcome to the Tubes - I'm so excited for you guys and all that is to come!
Thanks for the welcome! We're definitely enjoying sharing the journey! :)
We are a small and very expensive country. I visited relatives in Australia in the holidays and grocery prices are so much cheaper. The average kiwi can not afford to buy a house. All the best for your move 😊❤
We're finding the cost of living to be very similar to the Seattle area where we moved from. The salaries were higher there but the prices for everything were also higher. The average American can no longer afford a house either. Groceries are definitely more pricey than they ought to be here, though. I agree!
Thanks for the kind words! The move has been great so far. Kiwis are the kindest people!
Having lived my whole life in Chch I can only admire your get up and go attitude. My Dad came from Scotland and fell I love with this country. Yes of course we have all the nasties that nobody wants but if you are friendly then most people are the same back to you. I have no objection to you pm with any queries etc that you may have. Goodluck to you all.
We appreciate the welcome! Just noticed some of the hate comments from others and removed.
It's sad that people are people everywhere... and that some are their worst when anonymous.
In any case, we can't do anything about being American. We're here partially because we don't agree with everything America has become. That said, there are wonderful people who we love in America.
We're here on skilled migrant visas contributing to the NZ workforce. UA-cam is a hobby and a place to keep our memories.
We're glad to have kind folks along for the ride!
Welcome to "the land of the long white cloud" I'm a kiwi in blenheim 👍🏻🛩
Thanks for the warm welcome 🙏
Welcome from NZ, hope the move goes well for you 🎉
Thank you :)
So far so good. Hoping to share more of the journey in the next few days!
Jed!! This is so awesome. Love the channel!
Thanks so much!!
Great video, guys. Enjoy the journey, and best of luck with everything. Haere tū atu
Thank you 🙌
Welcome to the South Pacific. Even though I am Australian, I had a great grandfather who came from Whanganui in New Zealand. Australia and New Zealand have close ties and I have a strong affection for both countries. Have a wonderful journey.
Thank you so much!
❤
Keep the videos coming! Best of luck!
Thanks Danny!
Welcome to New Zealand . Hi from Palmerston North .
Thanks! So far we're loving it
Best wishes on your relocation to New Zealand. It's great that you already have experience of the country and know much of what to expect. With young children, it's the perfect time to make a move as NZ has so much to offer, not only wonderful scenary, a safe environment and active lifestyle, but you will have time to appreciate it. Work/life balance will be so much better than the US, so you will both benefit from seeing your children grow up.
I'm British, but my son emigrated to Auckland with his Kiwi girlfriend, now wife, eight years ago and they now have an energetic two year old to keep them on their toes. (Financial support with daycare from age 3.) Although NZ may feel a long way from everywhere else, there's plenty of variety across the country and many Pacific islands to explore, plus Australia, of course.
Thank you so much for the encouragement! We're loving the less expensive daycare already!
Catching a cruise ship , what a great idea ! Welcome home !
It was such fun!
Short video coming today or tomorrow on the cruise. We're working on a longer video where we galk through the whole cruise and review the ship :)
Gooodvideo
Sweet memories in New Zealand
Have you gone back to Hobbiton? They constructed a hobbit hole where you can go in and look around... It's awesome
We heard about that and CAN NOT WAIT to go back. We're hoping to go when our parents come to visit in the winter time.
You will love CHCH.
Just come across your video. We live in a small town called Kawerau in the Bay of Plenty North Island. We hope you enjoy living in NZ. Welcome.
Welcome! Thank you for reaching out. We've been in Christchurch for a few weeks now and so far so good! Still waiting on our container of stuff to arrive, but I've started work and we're exploring the area. As expected, everyone has been incredibly kind! We'll definitely add Kawerau to our list of places to visit! :)
Welcome to Te Ao Te Roa
Welcome to your new home
Thank you!
@@TheMerryMigrantsexcellent video
There’s a lovely American lady (and her family) on YT that has plenty of helpful advice for people from the USA wanting to emigrate to NZ. She covers everything that happened to her and her family with the immigration process and settling into NZ life, work etc. Think hers is called kiwi Americans. She also lives in Welly, so definitely look her up. Welcome to NZ.
Hey! Thanks for the heads up. I think we found her channel. :)

So cool. Can’t wait to get your thoughts of NZ now with children. Have you gone to the wrong side of the car yet? Lol.
Haha! Yes! We were both pretty nervous about driving on the other side but got used to it quickly. The thing that's getting us most is turning on the wipers when we need to turn xD
@@TheMerryMigrants I get ya, my sister has a Jeep Cherokee and I always use the wrong signals 😂
We've both done it several times, haha. But otherwise, it's been surprisingly easy to adjust!
Hi
Lovely family
You will find being kind to strangers will benefit you well in a tiny country like NZ, everyone knows everyone, if you dig deep enough. If you treat someone wrong you will likely see them again… so why would you 😂
Tena korua, nau mai haere mai... not to deter your ambition to live in NZ because, I wouldn't live anywhere else even if it was the cheapest. Like most western democratic societies NZ has it's positive and negative attributes. I hope you enjoy your stay...
Hey John! Wise words. We're definitely not expecting a perfect place. There are problems no matter where you go in this world. Heck, a lot of my problems are caused by me - and I'll be there with me! haha. But we do believe this is the right move for our family. Hope to see you around! :)
@@TheMerryMigrants definitely the right move for a young family, safe travels...
Run!!! Do not come here!!!
Already here and loving it.
Our government sucks trying to start a war against the Maori people just in time to see the shit hit the fan let's go
Lost of awful governments. Not really a part of our channel.
