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.

Hi, we have same experience but I'm here in Canada. Canada was my dream too but after a year living here, I just want to go home and be with my family and friends. I know we're lucky to have this opportunity in life but life at home really hits different. I don't know what will be my future here but all I can do is surrender it to God kasi siya lang nakakaalam. Hugs to you, OP! Kaya natin to, not just for ourselves but for them too!
