Does Tobias feel welcome?
What would he do differently?

I’m moving to Auckland this year with my wife and 5 children.
A bit scary but nothing ventured nothing gained and all that.
Wow! thats a big move to Auckland. Where are you moving from? Thanks so much for watching
@@ItsaDrama We’re moving from Plymouth UK.
My wife’s a teacher who has accepted a job in Takanini.
Great advice by the guest!I would say one key advice to be happy in New Zealand is, make sure to stay connected to Nature and make sure to go around hiking, beaches, camping, etc.. this will reconect you with yourself and see the move diferently. It's easy to get caught up in the day to day issues and stay in the mindset of comparing with your home country about the mundane things that bring you confort.
Great advice Pedro, I'll be sure to let Tobias know. Thanks so much for watching toady
This was so interesting. It is such a leap of faith to move to a new country, I really do take my hat off to the people who have the courage and stamina to do it! I hope both Tobias and Judith and their two cats enjoy life here. This interview showed just how much is involved, both emotionally and financially.
We do pay so much for fresh food here, I think it is very helpful if you eat what is in season, rather than paying an arm and a leg for the foods that are not in season. Try and find a market garden, rather than a supermarket. Fresher and cheaper, and much tastier :)
You have been in my thoughts Liz, you and your family x
We are not quite there yet with actually moving......but good to know there are people in your group who have experience with moving from Germany to NZ. Thank you for all the information 😊
Thanks so much for being with us today; we would love to have you in our community, and we appreciate you watching our channel
Great interview! Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Bri and Liz I haven't heard from you in awhile so just checking in on you 2 . Hope you are both looking after yourselves and each other. Just know I am just one of many who think of you both fondly like family and we do worry about you ❤❤
Thank you, Raewyn. That means a lot to us xx
Another interesting interview thank you.
Can I suggest Tobias just Googles "German food Christchurch nz" and "German beer Christchurch nz". He might be pleasantly surprised
Sehr gut Toby - Thanks Liz
Very good to you Richard, thanks so much for watching today
Another great and infirmative vlog.👍👌 thank you Liz 💖 We are very happy for Tobias and his wife that they made this great decision moving to this beautiful country. All the best to all❤️
Hope all is good with you Liz🙏. We are thinking of you.❤
What a great interview, NZ is a better place to have people like that make NZ home.
Many thanks for the lovely comment Bruce!
Best episode so far!
Gruesse aus Christchurch von Heike. Jeden Monat gibt es einen deutschen Stammtisch im Pegasus' Arms Pub Wisst Ihr vielleicht schon, aber Ihr koennt Euch auf die Liste setzen, dann werde Ihr immer eingeladen. Ich bin vor dreissig Jahren hierhin gezogen und habe auch meine zwei Katzen und meine Ponies mitgenommen. Ich vermisse "richtige" Pizza, NZ pizza is not the same.:)
Make your own pizza
Wow!! A German get-together every moth in the Pegasus! Thanks for watching Heike
That's exactly what I was going to write!@@drthomason7043
Definitely need a follow up interview with Judith!
Brian here standing in for Liz. I totally agree! I will get Liz to reach out to Tobias and get Judith to hopefully come on the podcast. Thanks so much for watching, and have a great week
Genial Danke
für das Interview
Welche Agentur Agent hattet Ihr beauftragt den Papierkram zu machen?
You might be surprised Tobias to know that NZ town and city planning was done by the Brits. The only US influence was during WW2 when the. Marines were based here. So in many rural areas there are still large halls left where they had their camps. Otherwise In the 1950s many Austrians were employed by the NZ Gov to build many of the State owned housing stock, there were many UK & Dutch tradesmen who came and helped also.
Im not sure but Fletchers Construction may have started building for the Gov too or maybe before the war and they are of English ancestory, as are Whittakes our favourite NZ Chocolatiers.
Eggs got expensive bc a law came out 13 yrs ago to stop caged laying hens. Of course egg producers left it for the deadline and we lost out. Also hens dont lay so many eggs in winter, it has something to with the daylight hours. So less eggs, higher prices.
If there is food you misss, make your own.
Thanks for the great info on the comment and thanks for watching today
Hi Liz I don't know how to get hold of you?? Hopefully you will see this message from me. Just want to say I'm thinking of you and Brian and I miss you. 😢❤
hey Liz and Brian, i watched your many videos, and i wanna ask do you need a professional editor to improve your editing style. So if you're finding a video editor for your channel then i can edit your videos if you give me permission
E 60,000 or E16,000 container from Germany to NZ.? Hard for me to pick that one up please. Great story. Admire you all.
16000 Euros
Yep, I think it was 16,000 Euros. Thanks for watching today
60,000 would be a good deposit on a house
Germany... the center of Europe and close to all the history ,scenery, culture and peoples that are so , so close...NZ is as far away from this as you can get with out leaving the planet..NZ is beautiful (so is much of Europe)but its system is weak and its weather is not as varied as what you will find in Europe. There is no way I would up root my tree from Europe and move to NZ unless I had a mental illness. I lived there for (NZ) 20 years from 22 -45 years of age
Hilarious!
I miss the pies and fush and chip's and the sea food plus the Chinese food not good here
Hi Danial, you can't beat a good pie!! Thanks so much for watching
Hi guys ❤
Hi Mark, Brian here standing in for Liz at the moment. Thanks so much for watching old chap, Cheers B
Brian
Is Liz OK?
What I can do, to get in contact with tobias?
I'll get Tobias to check out these comments, and hopefully he may reach out to you, Thanks for watching
