Wellington First Impressions (not what I expected)
We have officially left the South Island and are making our way up to Mount Maunganui for the rest of our New Zealand chapter. Our first stop on the other side of the Cook Straight is New Zealand's capital city, Wellington. We will visit some iconic spots like Mount Victoria, Cuba Street, and see what Wellington New Zealand has to offer before continuing on the road trip.

➤ ABOUT US: Hi! We’re Nick & Raychel, and we want to help people open their eyes to alternative living, whether that be teaching English online, moving to Cambodia, taking advantage of working holiday visas, or building a DIY stealthy camper van to live & work on the road. Nothing is off limits when adventure is the ultimate goal. After three years of living full time van life throught Canada, Mexico and the USA, we're now car camping our way through New Zealand in a Land Rover Discovery 1.
Our goal here is to bring you weekly content where we hope to inspire you to break free & live the life you desire. On this channel, we talk everything from finances to minimalism to working online to mindset and post a weekly vlog of our daily lives. We hope you join us on our journey to see the world, save money, live minimally, and most importantly, have fun.
So if you're looking for a channel about van life, alternative living, and budget travel, you're in the right place.

Loved the vibe of this video, can't wait to see you explore more of the North Island.

We can’t wait either!

Just remember Wellington is the home of Peter Jackson & Richard Taylor, Sir's to the rabble, & Weta workshop. Home of the Rings trilogy. Wellington where you get 4 seasons in one day occasionally.

Such a wholesome video - thanks for sharing. I moved to Welly from Auckland at the start of the year and I've been loving it! I can't get enough of the walkability, coffee culture, and the unique little places everywhere.

@nickandraychel 9 дней назад

It seems like such a good place to live!!

@juliabrewster8599 3 дня назад

@kyliec143 do you mind me asking where you're based in Wellington? I'm in Auckland and still very much in the "pipe dream" stage, thinking about leaving Auckland. Have always loved visiting Wellington though and great to hear you've made the same move and enjoying it! I think I'll do a bit more research!

@kyliec143 3 дня назад

@@juliabrewster8599 I live in a very central apartment in the CBD along Willis St! I flat with a friend and we find that our living situation is affordable and perfect for us despite rents being slightly higher here than in suburbs. We don't own a car and rarely take public transit because we're able to walk everywhere, which meant that the travelling time and cost savings are enormous (considering how much money and time we spent sitting in traffic and parking in Auckland). As two young women, we find it enjoyable and safe to venture around throughout the city - and find that there's so much to see and do. For example, I can't get enough of the random events the Wellington City Council hosts that makes us feel like we're joining a strong and vibrant community. That being said, if you're not a fan of the idea of living right in the city, you still don't miss out by living in one of the suburbs. Suburbs aren't awfully spread out so they're pretty accessible by public transport, and they each seem to have their own unique charms. I think moving here was one of the best decisions I've ever made, and I've spent almost half my life living in Brisbane and other half in Auckland. I highly recommend it - but yes absolutely do the research to see if it's viable and feels right to you!

A great snapshot of Wellington. I'm so glad that you're both enjoying the city and Aotearoa. I've called Wellington home for many years - it's a great little city.

Wellington is amazing - my favourite place in the North Island. It's a beautiful city, and when I lived there, I took the cable car to work and walked down Lambton Quay to where I worked on Thorndon Quay - such a beautiful city ❤

If you didn't know op shop is short for opportunity shop, as in charity shop, run by charities to raise money. But some op shops are just trendy second hand shops.

Ohhh that makes much more sense!

Wellington also known as ‘the coolest little capital’ it has such a great vibe and you can park in Oriental bay and just walk right round the waterfront even see dolphins in the harbor playing if you are lucky:) such a great city

Wellington is one of those places people either "get" or not. Some people really don't "get it" and can't wait to leave.

Yeah, so weekend parking should still be free in Wellington, and yeah, best coffee and food in the country

@cadifan 10 дней назад

New Zealand cities and suburbs are very "American similar" according to many tourists that have visited or lived in both. That's probably why many American based TV shows and movies are shot here, it's cheaper and easier and looks very similar.

@nickandraychel 10 дней назад

True! Same thing back home in Canada too ❤️

@Manawatu_Al2844 4 дня назад

It's nice, but it's pipeline infrastructure is in need of serious investment. Sewerage bursting into the harbour, and multiple water leaks doesn't help. That, and a ineffective council.

@EhtizanVideoEditor007 8 дней назад

Hey Nick, I just watched your video and I must say that it was really informative and well-made. I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and repurpose your long videos into highly engaging shorts? I can also make high CTR thumbnails for your channel
