Wellington First Impressions (not what I expected)

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.

It feels so strange to see people romanticizing the places I’ve gotten drunk, high, asleep, punched, and committed chaos in

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.

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

Absolutely loved this video. I've spent so much time in Wellington and Lower Hut. A real trip down memory lane for me. An absolute blast thank you. Take care from Greater London!!😁

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 ❤

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.

I bet you're glad your ferry didn't ground❤😊👍

I’m American and have been living in Wellington for the last 7 years. (My house is right behind the gardens!) I always say Wellington is a great city to live but not a good tourist destination but this was really refreshing to see someone’s first visit with a fresh perspective. Highly recommend a trip to staglands next time you’re in the area!

Omg you drove past my house and I was working on that film set you parked next to! So weird to see it on screen haha

Aw man, you video has made me miss Welly - I lived there for 3.5 years during my time in NZ. It's my favourite city in the world.

Driving carefully is advised. Watch out for drunk politicians

[richardcaldwell]

Welly is such a surprise city, some love it (like me) and others put up with it. So glad you are enjoying it so far. Happy days x

From a born and bred Wellingtonian welcome to our little big city, I am sure you will find plenty to things to enjoy here.awesome video by the way

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.

I remembered watching your video and seeing empanadas and was like I'll remember that for when I visit!
I just came back to find your video and the place, and so excited to see it's literally around the corner from my hotel! Yay! Looking forward to empanada tomorrow! Thanks!!

[BrianaMorrison-kgdu]

it's so cool to see people out and exploring this little slice of paradise

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.

right now wellington is going through a bad period due to rent, pipes, drop in cultural events etc. Welsh bar used to be a restaurant out Island bay. Botanical gardens after dark go to the stream and you can gently pick a leaf and look at glow worms. Spacesuit is owned by exflatmate it was gonna gave a russian spacesuit but that fell through.
