Description
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.
