When I first moved to New Zealand, everything felt unusual -
barefoot people, strong coffee, endless sorry’s

A year and a half later - I drink that strong coffee, say “sorry” too often, and find peace in doing less
Maybe that’s how you know you’ve really settled - when all the weird stuff becomes your normal 🫣

27 years later still not over the bare feet but have totally leaned into the slower life where a walk and hearing the sounds of nature give me far more than city life ever could ❤️ your posts

Forgot the part that we have the highest statistics of Sxual and family violence in the developed world. Would love to know a BIPOC POV because we racist as hell just thankfully we don’t have gun laws like USA 😂 oh yeah and tax..I get taxed the same as a millionaire because I work as a sexual violence worker full time and still ain’t enough to survive, so I DJ as well and pay 33% tax on that plus my loan debt for university 😂 but otherwise yeah it’s beautiful and I love it

I’m really glad that in central Wellington going barefoot isn’t very common. It’s a sign of poor mental health most of the time, or of a naive tourist. It’s a red flag
