Its so nice to see other black people making NZ travel guides :) I'm considering moving in a few years!
I hope it all goes well!!
im from the far north i think theres only one black family here .the stares because seeing beutiful black faces is like seeing a unicorn
😢😢😢 awww so happy you feel comfortable and happy in new zealand, welcome. This is your home too. Anyone is welcome here in Aōtearoa❤
Thank you so much ❤
@@ourszn no problem, i love this country and I love all my people living in nz no matter what country or religion💙💯NZ is a diverse country, it's a blessing to have you here. Hope you end up loving this country as much as me lol
Been looking into moving there. Thank you so much for your video.
Thank you for watching 🤍
Good girl I love your feedback on new zealand and maori people thankyou for being so lovely and I hope you enjoy living here xo
thank you❤ I am ❤
Best of luck with your new journey. Welcome to Aotearoa 💕
Thank you❤️
You are so beautiful and I love your aura ✨ I enjoyed your video, very helpful tips. I’m planning to move to NZ after I finish school next year from Seattle, WA.
thank you so much 🥺❤️.
I hope everything goes well, all the best❤️
Kiwis are built different when it comes to the cold, I remember seeing so much kids walking to school with no shoes on & it was absolutely freezing 😮
Righttt😂! I guess it’s because they’re used to it
It's not exactly cold like Europe or North America
I love the video. I am an African American woman living in America. This helps me alot. Because my main concern is safety. I think you speak English very well. I understood everything you said even without having the words on the screen. I hope to see more videos from you on your life in New Zealand.
Welcome to New Zealand. Best of luck and all the best for the future.
Thank you❤️
you're such a vibe 🥰😂 new subbie
thank you 🥺❤️
omg girl I thought you were a teenager too!
Subscribed :) I'm also moving to NZ too, I can't do my own braids so I'm dreading the prices as my mum or sister usually do my hair
black don’t crack😭💅🏾.
Thank you so much❤️
All the best with your journey ❤️.
Girllll start watching all those UA-cam tutorials 😭
Sis I just moved here from the states last week I feel you on all the things you said lol maybe we'll run into each other one day! Stay warm 💗
I hope you’re enjoying NZ so far🥹! hopefully we will, thank you and right back at you💕!!
Ive not been to Auckland, but I can definitely see you fitting in at Wellington! It's much younger demographics and pretty ethnically diverse.
Welcome I hope you meet good people here. I have friends who used to live in Zimbabwe and they love it here so far
Thank you❤️
thank you for this, i want to move to new zealand and we're the same age too!
I hope everything goes well🥺💗
welcome to our kiwiland, im sure you will find your fit.. its so interesting to see your point of view being from south Africa
Thank you❤️
Let's just say we're curious/nosey especially when there's a new person in town and you're from overseas. Don't worry too much, cos we get over it/move on/leave you alone - it surprises us/kiwis. In saying all this....Welcome to NZ!!!!! Enjoy your stay. Hopefully, you'll get used to Kiwi Life and able to adjust to changes here. Peace.
Oh okayyy makes sense
Thank you so much 💕
Also, we like learning different cultures - on our part we're saying "Welcome or Hello" and dang you did have nice long hair.....appreciative comment.
You have gained a new subscriber
Thank you❤️
Welcome to new Zealand ❤❤
Thank you❤️
You'll be right miss, From Joburg to where you are is a big jump, all the best to you, welcome, and you can't get further from the coast, wait till summer and go find a beach.
Thank you ❤️
Definitely looking forward to my first summer here 😊
Great video! thanks for sharing....I'm planning to migrate to Christchurch as a Masters student. I'm from Zimbabwe.
Oh wow, congratulations 🥳
I hope it begins to feel like home for you. I guess it will take awhile to adjust, but you have lovely energy and once you are in groups or meeting lots of people at work, you'll have no trouble making more friends 😊
As a white kiwi lady, i too am fascinated by the african curls, but wouldnt ask to touch. I think it would only have to happen a couple of times for me to be creeped out by it.
Best wishes ❤
Thank you so much✨
I’m sure most stares are just curiosity. When I travelled and lived in India as a white introvert man EVERYONE stared at me. Very comfortable…!
Girl thank you for this video because I have been looking for black people my age to talk their experience in new zealand
My pleasure 😊. I’m here if you have any questions ❤
Nna I need NZ friends coz I wanna move from SA to NZ😢
It's because you are beautiful and interesting and you are someone people want to get to know. Kiwis are a friendly bunch, as you've probably discovered by now. I hope you are feeling more settled in now.
If you go to Auckland, go for a visit to Waiheke Island in the summer,stunning walks and beaches and great cafe culture
They really are! I am more settled and enjoying it here, thank you✨
I definitely will next summer!
stocking up all my hair products ASAP 😭
Girl you better😭😭
omg THANK YOU for talking about hair care for us out there, like that's my main concern LMAO. do they let most hair products cross the border? I feel like imma have to do a yearly trip to the states just to buy all the hair stuff I need to survive 😭
Bro, our hair is the most important 😭. Yeah, they let hair products in just put them in your big bags. I mean there are some hair products but they’re limited and more expensive but you’ll see when you get here💗
❤
It is tough moving abroad.
And takes time (a lot) to merge into the way of live in your new home.
But NZ will be welcoming.
The problem is - a lot of immigrants will find that while Kiwi's are friendly, that is not the same as 'being good at being friends'.
Even Kiwi's moving to a new city within the country will struggle to fit in and find a good friendship circle.
Another aspect of this is a peculiar Kiwi aspect to friendship - that friendships and gatherings are on a clock, you are welcome to visit... but after say 1 hour... OK time to leave, your time is up.
That can be very weird for many people when they run into it... you just have to accept that that is a cultural quirk that just is... it doesn't mean anything negative about you or anything. It is an aspect of a rather introverted/homebody national character.
Also, the pace of life is much slower, so there is that too.
But don't let me put you off by reciting a long list of hurdles... the biggest factor in all this, is your own ability to be outgoing and positive.
That makes a huge difference, and kiwis will really warm to you if you are chatty, friendly and open.
thanks for that heads up😂
Yes, i noticed that the pace is slow and I actually prefer it like that.
I’ve been struggling with being outgoing with other people but I’ll definitely try! Thank you so much❤️
your english is good! i can understand you just fine 👍 thats really unfortunate to hear you've had some uncomfortable experiences, i think some people are really just curious. nevertheless i wish you a great life here ❤
Thank you so much✨
Hie thanx for the video i will be moving to Nz soon i wanted to know whats easier to maintain in nz natural hair or relaxed hair
You can maintain both because I’ve seen many africans with her natural hair. I’m not sure on maintenance of natural hair because I have relaxed hair.
@@ourszn thank you for your response
Hope the universe makes wonders happen for you in nz aotearoa
God definitely will❤️
Hopefully I am coming to NZ soon from Nigeria, you really don’t know how much you just encouraged me, I am very scared to come to NZ because I am traveling alone and I don’t know if there are Nigerians in NZ
Israel Adesanya?
@@antogrady7155 yeahh 😂
Hi, I'm from Nigeria
Can I please get your Instagram handle?
@@estheradedolapo4299 hi
You can join a Coptic Orthodox church there. They're very welcoming towards people of all backgrounds.
I love how on point you are, I literally cut my hair cos I did some research in South Africa before I came cos I didn’t want to struggle 😢 only a Month in NZ and literally they stare at us everywhere 🤣🤣🤣 I’ve only seen less than 10 Africans and I’m in one of the big cities
Sana, I’m about to join you😭 I’m tired!
Oh wow I thought there were a lot of africans in Auckland
I live in Christchurch and in my church alone there are 6 African families
I'm from cameroon and really wish to move there???
@@stenepinzone5704hellooo
Welcome fam! If you come up to Auckland, especially the North Shore, you’ll think you never left. 😂 Lot of SAFA’s up here.
Will visit soon!
I have a 10 years experience in primary teaching. I wish to relocate to NZ.plz help me to apply
nau mai haere mai .... welcome to Aotearoa New Zealand
Thank you❤️
I really enjoyed watching the video. It's interesting how different things are. Also why does the mayo not have salt haaa😭
I’m glad you enjoyed 🥹❤️.
I also don’t understand why there isn’t salt in the mayo!!!
I'm blonde and when I went to Fiji as a 17yr old I had so many people touching my hair so I know. Also you live in the wrong place for weather and social life. In Christchurch it is cold in winter but sunny and the sun doesn't burn like in summer. You will enjoy an evangelical church like New Life in Auckland. This is a nice challenge for you. This is different from sth Africa
Hello, I am from Nigeria and seeking admission to NZ but I am a resident in UAE, working. Can we connect please. I need info and guide on getting an admission in NZ. Thanks.
Nobody can help you contact immigration for the right advice.
😭😭girl im also Zimbabwean and im also going to new zealand
awww! I’m happy for you🥺. Which part of NZ will you be ?
Me too 😅😅😅
@@Negatoree_Hope you enjoy the move❤
Welcome to NZ
Thank you✨
Watching coz I might be coming there 😅
Nz will love her.
🥺🥺🥺
because you dont have to tip waiters/waitresses in NZ
You're welcome to come to our church sometime! The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we have some all over the country, Google locations to find one close to you 😊
The Manawatu region is where the elderly people go and retire
That makes so much sense 😭
I grew up in Rotorua, but now live in Victoria, Australia. New Zealand is beautiful, but Manuwatu is a very rural area.
Thats true and I love it here
There are definitely black braiders there with black products. Check them out! I hope you enjoy NZ
I definitely will, thank you💖
SAY, DEAR [“OURSZN”], FROM AFRICAAN TO NEW ZEALANDER, “WELCOME!!” 📲🧔🏾
Here's how I see it and I don't mean it in a bad way. SA and USA are the only people who "insist" on using the Terms Black/White. In a lot of countries like NZ, if you come from SA, we call you South Africans, we don't care what your skin colour is. This applies to Americans as well. As for the lack of products or the cost of getting braids done, I see a business oppertunity you may wish to pursue. There are many vlogs of people who move here that expect what happens in the country they left, should apply here. To these people I say go back. I'll end this by saying, those that come here and find a home, they contribute and enrich the way of life of this country. I wish you well (nice video) Auckland ???? I saw a person with blue hair once, never going back, weirdo's!
So true. We do say American or South African and dont think in terms of colour. It wouldnt be the initial thought. After awhile we would think oh gosh thats right you get hassled in your home country!!! We would look only because girl you are stunning...its with admiration
IT IS EASY TO GET THE JOB OVER THERE?
It depends on what you’re looking for
How:s school in nz
I’m not sure how the schooling systems are because I haven’t attended school here yet
3 levels of schooling in NZ- Primary(junior), Intermediate (middle school), High school (senior). Ages 5-18
These school are a mix of public(govt), private/religious and Maori schools. The NZ school system is similar to the British system becuase of its colonial heritage.
@@Skybar23😢
Hopefully you, your family adjust to the Kiwi way of life. Kia Ora
Thank you💖
For Kim to go to Auckland🕯🕯🕯
Let’s all pray fr 😭
Are you on other social media platforms??? I wanna follow, or like ask questions 😅 I wanna go to NZ too😢

Maclom to New Zealand 😂, c'mon bro our English isn't that bad 😂
@@Niic208😂😂😂
@@Niic208 Yup.Dont know how I did that one but I did.Cannot blame it on booze cause I wasn't drinking.Maybe on spell check but I don't think so.Just a stuff up and noticed it but couldn't edit it ,so maybe gave a few thousand people a laugh anyway.😆
March is all a hear but which year
Huh?
Where is the best place for someone in there 20’s to work and live
I don’t think I’m informed enough to give out this type of information. But join facebook groups titled for example, “young people in New Zealand” or “africans in New Zealand” and ask
Id say Auckland is really good for jobs BUT the rent is very expensive & traffic is absolute worst😅
Australia 😂 New Zealand is too expensive until you've already got some money behind you
I want me a African girl
Cheaper to do your braids out of the cities 1k is ridiculous
Exactly
Better you came to Holland jy kan spreek afrikaans haha and the black community is big in holland peoplle from suriname,antillen and cabo verde and others molukkers, more than one million are in the country,your welcome in holland.
That’s exciting!
I hope to visit one day!!
😂😂😂 you totally dont look your age I get why they think you're teen
😭😂❤️
In SA you could never yoh😭🤣it ain't safe
Broo😭
Whites from SA are running away from the blacks, only to find that we're everywhere 😅. Nowhere to run😅
Blacks are also running from blacks in SA. If you don’t have black neighbors you have made it.
i love tupac
Stay away from the maoris 😂
I hope yous have a good life here, ❤
Thank you❤
You are pretty but different to Kiwis, so we like admire you being a little diff ! Accept it but don't freak out my dear ! New Zealand will set you free darling ! Aroha Nui kare!
New Zealand would be the best country for a South African person of any color to come to ! Promise ! Cheers from New Zealand 🇳🇿
That’s true
