Living the Dream in New Zealand

How often do we say to ourselves, I'd love to travel?

I'd love to experience a different culture and way of life.

The months and years pass, yet we stagnate in our dull existence.

Not putting the effort in because it's too hard or not meant for me?

Why is this? Why do some people live in the same place their whole lives?

It's a question I ask myself often.

Of course, change is hard but worth it to experience the world.

Wellington is a beautiful place and a place I call my second home

I took a chance, and yes, it has been a roller coaster.

But I wouldn't change it as I have learnt so much.

The beautiful landscapes, the different way of life.

Less rushing around and more time to experience

the beauty of life and nature, and have time to stop and stare.

The Kiwi generosity and acceptance of us, whoever we are.

We don't need to keep up with everyone else

We can embrace our true selves

To me, this is what makes living in another country.

Such a beautiful experience and privilege.
