| look at how laid-back I am |
Recently I spoke to Radio New Zealand (RNZ) journalist Ke-Xin Li about... Americans.
The radio segment is called "First Up: Increase in number of Americans granted New Zealand citizenship" if you want to hear my lovely voice, and the article is "Slower pace sees more Americans eye 'laid-back' Kiwi lifestyle" if you prefer to read my lovely voice.
The reporter found me through my Instagram Reels / TikToks about life in Aotearoa New Zealand. It was a pleasure speaking to her, although it has been a bit embarrassing for her to quote local NZ magazine The Spinoff's 2021 feature on me, especially since you're not supposed to brag about this kind of stuff here. For the record, I didn't mention it! I didn't talk about my games or do any self-promotion! See? I'm practically a kiwi already.
But I guess this all makes me a local expert on Americans now. Why are Americans invading New Zealand? Why are Americans so annoying? Listen, I don't have all the answers. Sometimes you just have to embrace the mystery.
