I loved this! As an expat from the US to Scotland then Australia and now Aotearoa New Zealand (coming up on 22 years here), I agree with a lot of this. Looking forward to going back and reading the other entries in the series. :)
I'm really enjoying this entire series. It is so interesting to read about Americans' experiences living in other countries--and compare them to my own!
Enjoyed reading this! My husband and I moved to New Zealand as newlyweds several years ago and we loved our time there! We applied for the working holiday visa which was valid for a year, it was a straightforward, easy process. New Zealand is gorgeous for the scenery, and the people are so kind! We’ve tossed the idea of maybe going back one day 😊
The best line, "a haven for Hobbits and hikers alike." Love it. I know a lady from New Zealand who lives in Paris, a delightful lady. :)
Thanks for the interview Elizabeth . I’m visiting NZ in the spring and enjoyed hearing about the nuances of living there 😊
And Dan did such a great job!
indeed👏👏👏

I think you’ve lived in all three of my favorite countries!
I made some good choices. :) (I also had limited options for working holiday visas in the early 2000s!)

I’m sure Dan would be delight to hear how happy you were during your time there. I think he would agree NZ is pretty great.
Yes, absolutely! I subscribed to his work after reading your article! Thank you for giving us glimpses into other people’s stories and lives! 😊
