Flick me a msg

Have you ever wondered what it's like to pack up and start fresh in a new country? I, your host Danny, tell my tale of venturing to Australia, from the excitement of my first trip for a family wedding in 1999, to embracing the challenges of moving and living there in the early 2000s. My life down under was marked by riveting adventures, thrilling surprises, and profound life lessons that have shaped me into who I am today. Walk with me as I retell my journey, from navigating school life to discovering the role of family in shaping my experiences.

Fast forward to 2014 when I made the bold leap to relocate from the serene Queenstown to the bustling Brisbane. Hear about the dramatic intricacies of finding a job, an apartment, and building a life in a new city. The joy of winning a Gurney water blaster, the surprise of free food in the foyer, and the excitement of getting my first Australian car – I recount it all. We'll laugh together as I share the delightful surprises that came my way, and mull over my travel escapades and the significance of my cousins in Brisbane.

As the episode draws to a close, I take you through my decision to return to New Zealand and my reflections on the contrasting lifestyles of both countries. From a heartwarming supermarket story to my experiences as a sober driver and discovering my favorite vodka and seltzer combination, the tales are as diverse as they are intriguing. Stay with me as we look ahead to my future plans, from a spontaneous trip to Hawaii to brainstorming for the Cromwell region. So, are you ready for an unforgettable ride through my life experiences in Australia and beyond?
