Perfect tips! We lived in Queenstown for a while and many of our housemates had to leave due to not finding the "perfect" jobs. Keep an open mind when looking for a job in QT and try something random!
Recently went to Queenstown with a native Maori and was amazed at the way of life there. Would totally go back and was very impressed.
Hello from Brazil! I love your accent haha... I've been following you for a while this is the way I keep in touch with the language! Don't stop posting the videos, PLEAASSSSEEE!
Great advice and i loved to visit New Zealand.Keep up your great travels
Currently, me and my family live here. We moved at the end of 2017.
Great Place do recommend
Watching this as I just have been approved for a Working Holiday Visa! Going to NZ next november and Queenstown will be my first destination (I believe) 😂 Thanks for the tips
Hope you enjoy it!
Thanks a lot for your video, i might go to NZ on a WHV next year, it's very helpful :) I was in NZ on a tourist visa a few years ago, and just like you, i absolutely fell in love with Queenstown
Glad the video was useful :)
Really informative content for the guys we place in Queenstown. So many good tips. Thank you :)
Your information about Queenstown is very beneficial for everyone who is newly there
I really miss the Queenstown posts and I'm glad you have more to share. The scenery was awesome and you narrated it so well. Is there any scenery footage that didn't make it to the vlog that you can post as well?
A party every night...how terrible!
If there is any footage I haven't posted yet of Queenstown, it will definitely be in the next video I make about it :) Hahaha I know just awful right ;)
I love all of your video guides on working and living in different countries (it did in fact help me a lot when I was about to move to Perth last year). So Auckland is my next planned destination. But I'm still considering between Hobart in Oz and Auckland for a long term move. Could you please make a video about Auckland if you have ever lived in there? Thanks a lot and hope you can read my comment xx.
I'm literally sitting in Auckland about to fly down to queenstown so this video couldn't have come at a better time 😂 thanks for uploading!
Any tips for applying for travel agent jobs in Queenstown? 😊 any companies you would or wouldn't recommend working for? Any advice would be great! 😊
Ahh great timing!!! Have the best time!! Ummm I personally wouldn't go Happy Travels (unless pushy sales is your thing). Kiwi Discovery is a lovely shop in the middle of town! I would recommend trying your luck there :)
Excellent! Thanks so much 😊
This is amazing! We love Queenstown hopefully we can move down there. We live in the north island mount Maunganui
Your makeup looks lovely here!
Lauren Webber thanks! ❤️❤️
great video thanks!
Do you have any recommendations about how much money to arrive in Queenstown with? I love that you post so regularly now, you are one of my favorite travel youtubers!
Aww yay thanks! I would definitely have at least £2000 in your bank account :) More so if you intend on travelling New Zealand before you start working!
Amazing and very helpful vlog. Thank you
this was so helpful thank you
5:50..... is there someone laying go your bed???
hahah love this video as i am looking at doing a season.
would you consider doing a Video on the differences between working Australia and new zealand, where to Start, where it is "easier" to find a Job/travel/travelmates? And if you are new to travel, which one would be more suitable for a working Holiday?
absolutely Love your Videos!
Good one!! I will add it to the list :)
Great tips and links to places! I am planning to go to either Australia or New Zealand in 2019 for a working holiday (after I save up after this year and next years summer travels ha!). I'm still undecided where to go, both places look amazing and I really want to do both, which I will, but which one first?
I have watched all your videos from both Australia and your recent New Zealand ones and both countries look just as amazing as each other, in different ways. Which country would you say between the two? So glad I still have lots of time to decide haha!
Enjoy your trip to Menorca this week :)!
i aspire to be that level of organised Hannah! you have lots of time to decide. It's hard to say which is better because different people like each one for different reasons. For better weather, better beaches and much better pay - Australia for sure. But if you want something more low-key, lots of hiking, long drives and incredible mountainous scenery (but really shit pay) then New Zealand. If you are planning on doing both countries at some point though then I guess it doesn't matter all too much which one goes first :) xx
Ha yeah I always want to know where I want to go next, which is pretty much everywhere but hey gotta narrow it down!
Thanks for replying! Helped for sure as I didn't know about the pay in New Zealand, so maybe Australia year one, save up more money, New Zealand year two :D! Then home, be poor for a while, save, repeat!
All this wanderlust is what gets me through every day :)! Thanks again for the advice! x
Sounds like a great plan ;) Good luck with the saving girl xxxx
Thanx for nice video!
New Zealand is actually very close to where we live, I will put Queenstown in the list of the places to travel in New Zealand for next year! :)
Rachel and Nick definitely hit up Queenstown if you're going to be in New Zealand 😃😃
just found your channel and looking forward to catching up on your travels. just subbed :)
I have no questions thanks.
Nice place to settle
Great Advice, :) cheers x
Fuck it let's go!
Hi! Thank you for all your tips and for sharing your experiences, it's been so helpful. I'd like to ask if you had problems working with your working holiday visa in the travel agency while working also in nomads in exchange for accommodation, food and so on (because I've heard about people being exported because of that there). Also, my partner and I are traveling together there, do you think it would be difficult to be hired in nomads together? I'd be very grateful for any tips and suggestions, cheers!
Hey Hey :) love your channel, I've been living in Wellington for a few months now, looking into moving down south in May till August, hopefully settle in Queenstown, I've been looking for jobs to do down their and a travel agent / hotel concierge sounds amazing, just wondering which companies you worked for? :)
Thank you ..you are lovely person. .
Plus if I have my college in Frankton where can I find a decent, insulated single room accommodation near by ?
Just wondering what company you worked for, I’m moving over in May and think that a reservations job would be great for me

I'm currently in qt to look for a job under wh visa but it's due in July.. do u think I can bag a tourism agency jobs that allows me to exp some activities without breaking the bank like u did? Anyway I'm subscribed :)
I am from India, I would love to settle there in Queenstown but I have no idea whatsoever how's it goona be there
Whats the best time of year to start working?
Kindly suggest a place to stay for 3 to 4 days stay at queenstown
Looks nice bub
Nz is a playground for the young
You are so Nice!
Whats up
Hey!! I'm going on whv to new Zealand in December ! I wanted to ask you how to look for jobs in hotels or resorts in Queenstown. Do you think Queenstown is a good place to start the whv? Thanks
Hi Alejandro! How was your experience! Starting my WHV in Queenstown next november!
Whats the culture difference like between the UK and NZ? is it fairly similar?
scotalian it is very similar! People are a little more relaxed in New Zealand though - they are similar to the aussies!
I am an International student from India, planning to pursue my 1 year studies their, Do we have any Indian spice stores in Queenstown and what are the bare essentials to bring if you are planning a long term stay in Queenstown?
One of my housemates in Queenstown was Indian and he managed to get some Indian spices from somewhere in QT. Sorry we don't have specifics, but they do exist!
This may not be your area of expertise, but do you think Queenstown is a viable living option for someone in a wheelchair?
You’re right, not my area of expertise, but I don’t see why not. You would be able to get around the town with no problems. I’m not so sure how many of the activities cater to wheelchair users though.
Backpacking Bananas thanks for the input!
4:13☹️
I get so distracted by your eyes! You're so pretty!
Aww thanks lovely
she sucks your soul.
Only saw the person behind you half way through the video 😳
Drink a lot? I'm on my Way! xD
Hello beautiful how areyou thanks for you beautiful
I just realized someone is sleeping behind her.... XD
😂🙈
Who's legs are those? :'D
And then a little bit of friendly feedback; is it possible for you to change that quite awful sound, which comes for example in this video 2:18 when there is "a sticker", where says "Tip 1"? :) I'm sorry I'm bad at explaining this, I don't know what it's called. :D But this isn't the only video you have used this sound and I don't know if it's my headphones or ears or does it bother anyone else, but to my ears it's louder than the rest of the video and it pierces through my ears quiter uncomfortably. :/ I don't want to sound like a whiny bitch, but it takes a lot of enjoyment off from my end, when I watch your videos.
But otherwise I love your videos! :)
Ah shame do you have ticks? What's wrong with your head?
