Have you ever been to New Zealand?
 
What are your thoughts?

I think I remember Ben went traveling there years a go if my memory serves me right.

I am thinking of going out there for a year. I already have the visa and have until April next year to use it.

Cherie 15-05-2022 08:01 PM

I'd be working so it would be work experience and get to see another part of the world. Quality of life is different in different places too.

Yes, they have been since March. Working holiday visas anyway.

LOTRs?

Yeah it looks beautiful. They're screaming out for workers in healthcare and after contacting an agency they pretty much offered me a job, just need to firm up my plans.

South Island is beautiful everyone will tell you its the best island. But honestly for me the North Island is the place to go. It has all the culture, both Kiwi and Maori, Wellington is an amazing city. It has the beautiful landscape also, not as dramatic but still great, it has all the geothermal activity, the North Island should not be skipped.

Never been, but always wanted to.
It looks ALOT more interesting than Australia.

rusticgal 16-05-2022 05:06 PM

I love Australia...never been to NZ but it does look stunning.

Dogeatdog 16-05-2022 05:06 PM

I haven’t and tbh if they have giant spiders the size of dinner plates or ones that bite you and make your life misery like Australia do then I defo won’t be heading there anytime soon. The scenery does look amazing tho I don’t doubt that for a second.

You're thinking of Middle Earth. That's a fictional place, ir's just set in New Zealand.

I will do both if I end up going, but will go where work takes me to start with. Thanks for the input.

See, I feel the opposite. I loved Australia and New Zealand doesn't have the same appeal, maybe it's the weather. New Zealand doesn't have Australia's weather. Still interested to go New Zealand though as it's one of the places they do a working holiday visa.

I spent a year in Australia and never saw giant spiders or snakes other than in a zoo. They're more scared of you than you are of them
