im 17 years old, I was born and have lived in Christchurch my whole life. I love seeing other people's view points of the city! I'm super enthusiastic about it myself.  While auckland has a lot more opportunity...Christchurch has just as much, just on a smaller scale. but that's what you would expect for a city only 1/3 of the population of auckland.

I believe christcurch is a growing city, there's always new things poping up and the CBD is constantly expanding! More and more people look towards Christchurch because of its affordability compared to Auckland and Wellington. Christchurch has a lot more to offer nature/outdoors wise. We have amazing endless beaches, port hills, Lyttelton and Akaroa as well as the mountains for skiing. And yes your right ...Christchurch is very flat making it easily walkable, cyclable and drivable!  We have lots of new and exciting things coming to the city such as the 30,000 seat Stadium and the new court theater along with many other current amazing venues such as the town hall, convention center and wolfbrook arena.

our internatonal airport still offers great convenience especially compared to wellington a city of a relative same size. while not as big as auckland we still have many amazing direct routes to singapore, hong kong, Gaunzhou, San Francisco, Dubai (via sydney), Fiji as well as multiple destinations in australia. And we can expect many more to come as travel is back up and running after the pandemic. I beleive christchurch are eyeing towards flights to Los Angeles, Seoul and malaysia next.

and the weather! while it does get a little chilly in the winter (not that cold compared to what it would be in canada or northern america) our summers can get HOT! and we have minimal wind comapred to wellington and less rain than Auckland. we get 600mm of rain per year (auckland get 2000mm) so we have a lot of sunshine especially becasue the mountains block out all the bad weather!! haha.

I think Christchurch has lots of potential, and I hope people choose christchurch as it truely is amazing and in the near future will be reconigzed on a global scale. Loved the video btw, im glad you liked Christchurch.

Christchurch is one of the best places to live in NZ if you are worried about Earthquakes. Anything structurally unsound came down in the earthquakes and has been replaced by newer buildings built to higher earthquake standards. It is far safer than Wellington or Napier or other places near earthquake fault lines.

I'm an Aucklander, haven't been to Chch in 30 years but I believe Sydenham is pronounced Sidnam.

Thank you for explaining the facts about living in Christchurch, New Zealand!

Really well done! A lot of awesome information and great footage that you’ve shown off. We got to see a lot of what Christchurch has to offer and the proximity to so many other spots on the South Island along with the smaller community feel in a NZ major city were my personal favourites. A lot of very welcoming and friendly people. I could live there for sure!! 🍻😃

Thank you for the information, looking forward to migrate to New Zealand soon

As always, great video Brittany. 👍👏.  Very informative. You are amazing, smart young girl. Thank you for your insights. We love it!💖

Thanks. Good video

Thank you for dropping these information ❤

Thanks for all the information 🙂

The role out of fibre broadband is well under way, fibre arrived in Rangiora in 2017 and in New Zealand in 2014. I connected to fibre in early 2020.

Wow. I lived there right in the City Centre for $100.00/week. Ok that was a decade ago, but it's still quite a shock to think about.

A cheap day in Christchurch was for me to ride my bike to the beach, swim in the surf and lie in the sun on the sands of the beaches of New Brighton and Sumner.

Very helpfull video. From Bangladesh ❤

Great info in good structure thank you

Thank you so much for this one Brit! I'll be moving to NZ later this Oct in Christchurch for work :)

Looks nice

Brittany, you seem to be a well organised financial planner. You are good at  budgeting, investing, saving and retirement planning. You are  creating a   personalised financial plan that suit your lifestyle and aspirations. And you are not compromising either on your life style. In simple words "Fantastic". Thanks for the informative video.

Great video. Very interesting. I'm from Christchurch but live in Sydney. We pronounce Sydenham as 'Sidnim.' I haven't been back to Christchurch since the end of 2011. It's interesting to see how much it's changed. Again, great video.

As a life long resident of Christchurch I watched your video to point out everything that was wrong. But overall great video 😅!! Glad you enjoyed your time here 🎉
