WHY WE Made a MASSIVE MISTAKE Moving Here?

#globetrottingadventurers #southisland #nzroadtrip We packed up our lives and left Dunedin, but this road trip back to the North Island turned out to be a massive reality check. After making the move down south, we had to be completely honest with ourselves—Dunedin just wasn't the right fit for our next chapter. As midlife expats, we've learned that if a place doesn't feel like home, you have to pivot. But escaping the south wasn't easy! From massive Cook Strait ferry cancellations and 10.5-meter waves, to witnessing a shocking safety situation on the road that required the police, this journey threw everything at us. Join us as we navigate the delays, handle the chaos, and finally cross over to our new chapter in Wellington."
