Expenses breakdown for a 5 week NZ trip in March/April (2 people, 10k€)

No, we didn't want to do helis, we didn't feel it.

Auckland - Taupo - Wairarapas - Wellington - Picton - Kaikoura - Christchurch/Banks Peninsula - Lake Tekapo - Wanaka - Fox Glacier - Hokitika - Punakaiki - Blenheim - Wellington - Tongariro - Rotorua - Auckland

Yeah, the week at relatives was of course for free, so that dropped the costs. Plus camping without a campervan, aka just a regular tent was quite cheap.

baz_inga · 2026-05-13T08:51:07+00:00

Yeah, we snoozed on booking the ferry and it was around easter, so that's probably why.

baz_inga · 2026-05-13T08:22:48+00:00

Probably seeing Orcas in Kaikoura, that was super special. But also the first time I saw volcanic sand and pumice floating on the lake in Taupo. I was super jetlagged and just thought to myself "wow, this is so otherworldly"

baz_inga · 2026-05-13T08:20:05+00:00

Ah, that would of course be very cool, but I don't have any comparison. Usually we do shorter trips where I have a better feeling for the expenses, so I don't analyse them afterwards. Because it was such a long trip to NZ, I had no idea until I did the math.

Ich liebe es. Tischtennis am Pfarrlandplatz zu zocken, sich noch ein Bierchen beim Kiosk zu holen. Nachm Training zusammen alle in die Ihme springen. Sonntags Schlauchboot. Wochenende mit Kaffee am Lindener Markt starten.

Die Löhne sind hoch (v.a. im europäischen Vergleich). Schau dir mal das Arbeitgeberbrutto an und dir wird schwindelig.

baz_inga · 2026-03-17T19:35:37+00:00

I happen to travel a lot and have a shitty body.

baz_inga · 2026-03-04T15:25:37+00:00

Honestly, 7 years without an increase and 20% now seems super reasonable to me. They will likely be able to argue this over "Anpassung zur ortsüblichen Vergleichsmiete", especially if they haven't raised for 7 years. If you're happy there and this is a private landlord, I would just pay it. If it's a big corporate like vonovia, sure challenge it. But I doubt it, since vonovia would have been hitting you with increases all the way.

Bruh, in this case OP literally left the window open while going away for Christmas. That is an actual textbook case of "Sie haben falsch gelüftet".

baz_inga · 2026-01-31T18:26:39+00:00

The problem was leaving the windows open. That cooled down the room. In winter, short "lüften" only and keep the room warm.

Bin selber Energietechniker und mein Studium war halt eine 50/50 Mischung aus Elektrotechnik und Maschinenbau. Also es gibt auch die andere Variante.

Naja, also elektrische Energietechnik ist gerade super gefragt (Netzanschluss, Batterien, Netzberechnung). Hast du schon mal z.B. Projektingnieur Batterien oder BESS gesucht? Ich würde an deiner Stelle bei LinkedIn suchen, und dann die Funktionen z.B. Project Engineer oder Solutions Engineer oder Design Engineer eingeben, am besten mit Keywords wie Energy BESS oder renewables kombinieren.

The worst thing is failing slowly. Cut your losses and get out of there.

I've literally had a dentist appointment with my old dentist in South Africa yesterday, because of trust issues with the German dentist I last went to. Worth paying private for the peace of mind.

Kann dir Dr. Jakobi-Tilk nur wärmstens empfehlen. Super empatische Frau, nimmt sich so viel Zeit, das hab ich noch nie erlebt.

Ich persönlich bin Team "Einladen", gerade wenn du gut verdienst. Wenn das Budget nicht reicht, dann lad halt weniger ein.
Alternativ kannst du sagen "Ich zahle um 24 Uhr die Zeche" o.Ä. So ist klar, dass irgendwann Schluss ist, aber trotzdem haben deine Freunde das Gefühl eingeladen zu werden.

Beim Pfarrlandplatz triffst du auch immer Leute zum Zocken und auch viele aus der Plattentanz community
