Aw thank you! I appreciate the feedback=) Let me know if you have anything fun you'd like content on- I'm like you, I always love hearing stereotypes of America, etc I think it's so funny.
@@MorganMarieWolff hmmmm🤔 maybe you could do a vid on some of our unique food? I'd love to see your reaction to eating a Kina!!😆 If you don't know what that is ....look it up or have a look on my channel because I gotta get them views up🙆🤣
Thank you @MorganMarieWolff, for such a fantastic and informative video! We’re considering a move to NZ for many reasons. I’ve been retired for just two years and worked in a field, advanced manufacturing/ automation, I understand is in demand there! We’ve done WWOOFing just this year as well as working on local organic farm here in MI, so that would also be a great possibility. Caught my attention right away when you mentioned it! We’re also big outdoors enthusiasts and love camping, hiking and backpacking. Since we’ve never been, a visit possibly in Feb / March or April timeframe might be good? End of summer there. Would a month be enough to get the lay of the land and spend time on both islands? Assuming all prices you mentioned are in NZD (currently about 1.67 to 1)? Thanks again! 😀
Really enjoying your weekly videos! Please keep them coming! Any chance of one on what a weekly budget in NZ would look like? To help prospective immigrants see if what salaries that are offered will sustain them ;)
Wow Morgan, it doesn't matter what your subject is, your energy rubs off on me! Whilst l may not always agree with all of your opinions, they stimulate the thought process and open my eyes wider. And of course Morgan's Super Bloopers are worth the weekly wait.👍🏻💖. Give thought to having a guest on the show, maybe an American who has been here a few years longer. Their opinion would be interesting.
Hey Piano Man! So glad you enjoy the bloopers, I was thinking of leaving them off as it doesn't look as professional but hey...I'm not too professional lol. That's a good idea, kind of a comparison of views, I like it! Appreciate the feedback as always=)
Immigration NZ has changed some of their settings for working holiday visa. Some countries can now apply up to 35 years (others still age up to 30) Also some can stay up to 23 months (others remain at 12 mths)
Relax. "Sweet as" and "She'll be right" are central to our culture . Every thing you own is second hand. Hospice shops and other charity outlets in NZ are often a bargain, You can buy the household necessity's for a home for a few cents in the dollar and help a good cause in the process. Trade me gives the price of anything you will need from cars to accommodation. Most times you engage with officialdom in NZ you will find a desire to help rather than the projection of power. Perfection is an ideal not the reality. "God zone" NZ is close to paradise but is still has everything that is wrong in the real world . You go girl. you have an innate brightness that enhances life and is always welcome in my home land .
Thank you Martin! I really appreciate that- and you are so right, everywhere has its good and bad parts I've learned, but I sure feel lucky to be here now=)
love your insights on small things to consider before coming to new zealand planning come over there next year with my family hope it will be great... one question we're going tauranga is that a good place to start off if planning to stay long term?
Tauranga is my hometown.....you will lovee it there....Its got the beaches and harbour there and travel 20 minutes inland to farmland and bush and the odd lake and freshwater swimming spots and waterfalls. The thing about Tauranga is it is a city that has grown and continues to grow fast and is not too far to travel to other towns like Rotorua, Taupo, Hamilton and Auckland. Depenable on what your taste is......there are some really great areas close to the beaches. A lot of people moved there because it is a great place to retire, and now everybody wants to move there after they see what Tauranga has to offer in terms of Lifestyle for all.... Hope this will give you a little insight into what to Tauranga is like if you get there.
100000 mostly Maori & Polynesians of this land are houseless. Either displaced or trespassed violations to let in immigrants. You need to ask yourselves why is your country in the state it is? And why are you coming here doing the same thing to us? Taking homes from us. We have a treaty that must be honoured. Your country has the same. If your not from their then you need to heal where your origin is from. Some Americans state your from Spain. That was a black country prior just as the whole world was prior to invasions. Do you know why you have no identity?
My wife and I are thinking of moving from the USA to NZ. My wife would be moving for her job and would have employment right away. I would be retiring. I’m 58 and my wife is 56. How does imagination work for older people?
Confused by your renting advice when you say an alternative option is renting a room in a house...naturally you have to rent a room, you'd hardly be renting the entire house unless you're moving as a family with children. Also your tramping/walking boots won't be thrown away by biosecurity, they'll clean them up for you :)
Yes there is such thing as renting a room in a house which would usually be known as a boarder. The owner lives in the house and rent out the room. Each has their own set of rules what amenities is included in the agreement like cooking etc
@@mattieclan8957 I wasn't talking about boarding, I was just talking about normal renting. I wasn't sure why she mentioned renting a room in a house as an alternative/different option, as if it's not the normal situation (apart from for families).
@bassman108 it's basically a tax file number, which means you can't work, until have you have one. Just apply when you arrive or prior to arrival. IRD, inland revenue department.
If Morgan drops the bloopers Justin... l will find you!! (Fact is everything is done in one go but she makes bloopers up for the ending just so she doesn't seem too perfect.🤣)
You hooked me in the first few seconds when you said you were from WY. I’ve lived here for 21 years for work & would love to leave the US for NZ!
I'm not sure if it is viable for everyone, but not living in or near Auckland is a great way to budget.
$1mil where I live is 2 nice houses.
This is good info, can you name few cities please?
It's always interesting hearing an outsiders perspective on my home country. Love the content and also your accent is awesome.

We are planning to move to NZ from Israel within q year or so.
This was so informative! Thanks! I would love to see a sample of your pamphlet!

You won't see anyone writing a cheque in NZ. Personal cheques don't exist here any more.
What's this whooping program thing? I can't find any sources on it or how to utilize it.
I love you!

Do you mind telling how much you paid per pet?
Damn... She is gorgeous 🌝
She looks like a cute lama with the bangs on

people „flat“ together in old villas. good middle ground of living in a house and community and affordable
@@mattieclan8957 I wasn't talking about boarding, I was just talking about normal renting. I wasn't sure why she mentioned renting a room in a house as an alternative/different option, as if it's not the normal situation (apart from for families).
maybe start with traveling. experience how other countries do things better. become humble.
Don't forget to get an IRD number.
What does IRD mean?
@bassman108 it's basically a tax file number, which means you can't work, until have you have one.
Just apply when you arrive or prior to arrival. IRD, inland revenue department.
@@laskinov My wife will be working but I would be retired. Is NZ retirement friendly?
@@bassman108 I really can't answer that but if you go to the NZ immigration website, everything you need to know is there.
You shouldn't have shown the blooper reel! I thought you said the whole thing in one go!! You've destroyed the illusion!
lol! You're not the first person to say that, I can't help it though, I love bloopers=)
If Morgan drops the bloopers Justin... l will find you!! (Fact is everything is done in one go but she makes bloopers up for the ending just so she doesn't seem too perfect.🤣)
