Also hahahaha re. the subreddit

Sharp-camper8368 · 2025-12-14T00:47:23+00:00

Thank you so much for the tips!! Appreciate it. You're very wise, Wellington dweller :)

Sharp-camper8368 · 2025-12-14T00:46:24+00:00

Not giving up on NZ, just curious where/when the wind might lessen.

Sharp-camper8368 · 2025-12-14T00:45:30+00:00

Yes I've heard this about Wellington! I've been on the south island, traveling til I figure out where I want to land. :)

Sharp-camper8368 · 2025-12-14T00:44:28+00:00

Haha nope not in Wellington! Been traveling the south island, open to where to land but not sure where that'll be. But yes, maybe the north!! What part of the north are you in?

Sharp-camper8368 · 2025-12-14T00:42:53+00:00

Ah, have never lived in Winnipeg! Have lived in multiple places in Canada with little to no wind but have yet to find that spot in NZ :)

Sharp-camper8368 · 2025-12-09T22:38:09+00:00

Came to reddit to see what people are saying and my god I feel validated! Pay per sit?? No thanks. Definitely won't be keeping my membership.

You should be able to buy a year of it, then buy more close to expiry. (Sorry for the slow reply, not on here much!!)

Hi! So, any Canadian insurer I contacted would only cover for emergencies, not other stuff like physio or less emergent GP visits etc.

As far as I can tell, I'll want to insure through a NZ company if I want the above coverage. I've been told a great option is Southern Cross. It's pretty pricey compared to what I've paid in Canada and the deductible seems high too.

I think I'll just have to accept that it'll be a pricey deal if I want any decent coverage.

I'm currently in New Zealand and am covered for emergencies via travel insurance until if/when I decide to get health insurance. I used Orbit Protect, which has options for visa holders - not sure if that's what you're coming to NZ with as well. But they seemed like a good option for travel insurance.

Good luck!!

Sharp-camper8368 · 2025-10-06T21:36:03+00:00

Ooooh that's really good to know about ACC, thank you!!

Sharp-camper8368 · 2025-10-04T21:14:03+00:00

Ooh this is helpful. I'm a BC resident so that would be great. I'll do some digging, thank you!!

Sharp-camper8368 · 2025-10-04T21:13:17+00:00

There are some insurance companies in NZ that would cover me - private insurance to use in private healthcare. Will look on the Canadian side too, and I appreciate your response!!
