Being Bedingfield - Craig & Chantz

3 Years In - Is It Worth It?

Is Auckland really boring? After 3 years of living here, we finally have an answer — and it might surprise you. In this video we're getting honest about what our life in Auckland actually looks like right now. From finding community at church and hosting our own home group, to keto, the gym, Mandarin lessons, a business course, run club, parkrun and making friends as adult immigrants — life has been full. We also share something a little vulnerable — a business idea that's been on Chantal's mind, and a big tease about whether Craig will take on the Comrades Marathon 100th edition in 2027. This one's for anyone who's ever felt like life is passing them by — whether you're in Auckland, or anywhere else in the world. 👟 Got walking sandal recommendations?
