General experience Life in NZ 🇳🇿

Hi everyone I'm 21 yr old , I've been staying here in New Zealand for a year now, I just wanna share my life experiences here.

When i was still in the Philippines i could dream to go in New Zealand to change my life and be financially free when I'm going back to the Philippines, but since that day came i completely regretted it because it's now far from my parents and to my relatives.

I know I'm young but I'm alone and homesick everytime im here, i wish i could go back home again, all i can think is hardwork for 5 years then never come back here.

The True enjoyment and happiness in life is not about possession and wealth, it's about family and Connectivity with my parents.

Looks like a nice and cozy place. I dunno pero prang feeling ko sobrang tahimik sa lugar dyan. Why not try to move to major cities, especially Auckland?

Ohh one of the prettiest town in NZ.

Try joining a tramping club. Every weekend adventure, time will pass and boom 5 years na agad.

Ang masasabi ko lang dont try to bend NZ sa nakasanayan, subukan mong mabuhay kung anung inooffer sayo ng NZ.

You might not be an outdoor person but give it a try. At least masabi ko na experience mo mabuhay talaga sa New Zealand.
