Ep 20. Adjusting to Adventures in New Zealand

In this episode of House Hunters International, a family of four from the United States embarks on a bold adventure to New Zealand. After living in the same town for their entire lives, the family takes on the challenge of moving to a new country with different customs and a vastly different culture.

The family consists of parents Molly and Matt, and their two children. The kids are still young, so the parents are excited to expose them to new experiences and give them a chance to grow up in an entirely different part of the world.

As the family begins their search for a permanent residence, they quickly realize that New Zealand is not exactly a bargain when it comes to housing. In fact, it is one of the most expensive countries in the world to live in, especially for expats.

Their first stop is in the city of Auckland, which is the largest and most expensive city in New Zealand. Here, they explore a variety of different homes, including modern apartments and charming traditional houses. However, they soon realize that the cost of living in Auckland is just not feasible for their budget, and they begin to consider other options.

The family's next stop is in the small town of Te Awamutu, which is located in the heart of New Zealand's farming country. Here, they discover a more laid-back lifestyle and a lower cost of living. They explore a variety of different homes, including a beautiful modern house with a spacious backyard that is perfect for their kids to play in.

Throughout the episode, the family faces a number of challenges as they adjust to life in New Zealand. They must navigate the complex process of getting a visa and finding a job, all while trying to acclimate to a new culture and way of life.

Despite the challenges, the family falls in love with New Zealand and begins to embrace their new adventure. The episode ends with the family settling into their new home, excited for the adventures that await them in their new country.
