New Zealand is paradise to me, and yet as a black British woman, who grew up in the cultural melting pot and fashion capital of London (but also lived deep in the British countryside for 12 years), it is not without it's challenges things that no one, and no source of information, warned me about before emigrating.

In this part 1 of a four part series, I offer some no holds barred insights, into a few of the secret joys and agonies of living in New Zealand, from the unique perspective of a Brit, of African heritage.

I recommend that you watch all four parts of the series before you pass judgement, and please be mindful that there is ZERO tolerance for racist or cruel comments on this channel.

If you are thinking about emigrating to this wonderland, but are searching for the REAL TEA on important aspects of life here such as the cost of living, in real terms (for normal, nonBillGatestypes), the climatecrisisreality weather patterns for North Island in 2019, and a glimpse into the heartbursting magic, that no images on the internet, or blog can accurately describe then you've come to the right place!

Grab yourself a cuppa, get ready to be surprised, delighted and yes, maybe a little disappointed too, as I perhaps burst a few of your fantasy bubbles about this land. But most of all, get ready to have a giggle with me, as I dissect the things make me scratch my head, or laugh out loud about New Zealand life.

Life is truly beautiful ESPECIALLY, in Aotearoa (New Zealand)!

See you in the next vlog! Thank you SO much for watching, and for being awesome. x
