New Zealand Life

You are here: Home / Archives for Travel / New Zealand / New Zealand Life

As an expat, I have a unique view on everyday New Zealand life, and I share it here. This section includes articles on everything from day-to-day living to special events like celebrations and festivals.

It’s a great place to start for both those planning to visit or those wanting to move here forever, as we did. We fell in love with New Zealand, and we are sure you will too.

If you love New Zealand and want to discuss it with other travellers or residents, join our Facebook group: Explore New Zealand and share travel tips, stories, photos, or just ask questions.
