You're right.
Just one part of the bag.
And where did you move from?
We came from Colombia.
Well, on my side, I always knew that I wanted to live overseas.
And fortunately, I traveled to different countries when I was young.
And I just wanted to live overseas.
Then Laura decided to move as well.
So we started looking a place to study for her to study and also to be able to stay after.
And I had a couple of friends already in New Zealand by the time.
And it happened that this was at the time a country which was kind of easier to stay after you finished studies.
I don't know.
The only thing that we listened from people since we arrived is that it wasn't possible.
It was the dream to have one house.
By the time, we didn't know if we were going to be able to make it, just to stay here, to have the residency.
But we decided to start saving.
We said, okay, if we don't make it and we need to go back to Colombia, at least we'll have some money to buy a property there.
And if we make it, we get our residence visa, we have our savings to try to start the property and this is the way it happened.
That was a lot.
We were paying the rent, but the time was around $500 per week.
