South Africans in New Zealand

This Is Our Story

We are Craig and Chantal, in 2022 we sold all our possessions in South Africa and moved to New Zealand.

We both love travelling and exploring when budget and leave allows it. Together we have travelled to 9 countries,

and between us we have marked off over 50 countries on the map (mostly due to Chantz working on a world cruise).

Join us as we share our experience of settling into a new country.
