This text chronicles the author's journey from the Czech Republic to New Zealand, primarily driven by a romantic relationship and a sense of adventure. The author's girlfriend, a recent arrival from New Zealand, extolled the country's virtues, contrasting them with the Czech Republic's often gloomy weather. After their relationship ended, the author learned about New Zealand's working holiday program, which allows foreigners to obtain temporary visas for work and travel.
Upon arrival in New Zealand, the author initially engaged in various casual jobs alongside fellow Czechs and Slovaks, involving fruit picking, construction, and labor. However, these experiences led the author to contemplate settling in New Zealand for the long term.
His job hunt took less than a month, with visits to approximately 100 companies, mainly those working with stainless steel. Smaller, owner-operated businesses showed more willingness to engage with the author directly and assess his skills. One Auckland-based company offered him a job on the same day.
The visa application process proved challenging, with some delays, but the author ultimately secured his work visa. He currently works as a stainless steel welder in Auckland, even though local wage structures differ slightly from what he was used to.
In summary, this text highlights the author's unconventional journey from the Czech Republic to New Zealand, driven initially by love and curiosity and ultimately resulting in a new chapter in a foreign land.
