Marley: Um, when we were in Australia, in our second year, they actually changed the visa rules and-and allowed for a third year. So then we were kind of like, we were really enjoying our time in Australia so we thought, oh we might as well take advantage of it while we're here and we decided to stay an extra year. But then in that year is when COVID and everything went down. So then we actually got stuck in Australia and um, they ended up like doing a whole COVID visa. So we were actually there for an extra two years on top of the three years.

 

Sarah: On top of the three years. So we ended up doing five years just in Australia alone.

Marley: Um, and then after that we were like, well we're all the way on this side of the world now so we should probably go over to New Zealand. And-and now that's where we are now. Yeah.

 

Interviewer: And how-so how long have you been in New Zealand?
