EXPECTATIONS VS REALITY IN NEW ZEALAND | Reality of Living in New Zealand | Pinoy In New Zealand

Kamusta, kabayan?! This episode will hopefully shed some light on what I found to be the differences between expectations and reality about living and working here in New Zealand. What's really the reality of living in New Zealand? I know most of us when planning to move overseas, we already have ideas or a picture in our head on what life is going to look like but no one can really tell you what life in another country will be like.

Moving to New Zealand or anywhere abroad from the Philippines is like a choose your own adventure novel or movie -- it’s really up to you how you want to live your own reality. :)

I am not an immigration advisor. Everything that I've said in this channel is based on my personal opinion and experiences as a Filipino migrant in New Zealand who started with just a working holiday visa. If you're thinking of moving here, check out the Immigration New Zealand website in the first instance: https://www.immigration.govt.nz/

Kanya kanya ng story at experience ang bawat tao; iba iba tayo ng work background at visa. This is MY STORY. I didn't share this to brag, give false hope or anything; but rather to share with you that anything is possible. KUNG KINAYA KO, KAKAYANIN MO RIN! LABAN KABAYAN!

This channel does not reflect the views and opinions of the organisation I currently work for as well as the companies I previously worked for. I am doing this in my personal capacity.

Links included in this description may be affiliate links. I only recommend stuff I use and love and if you like it to, I may get a small commission. However, there is no additional charge to you. I appreciate your support, kabayan! ❤️
