In this episode we chat to Daniela Jolly also known as Dani. Born in Argentina, Dani felt the need to leave her comfort nest and make the trip to Aotearoa New Zealand. The first three weeks of Dani’s stay in Christchurch were smooth, until the 2011 earthquakes hit and then everything she knew about New Zealand was gone.
Deciding to stick through the toughest times Christchurch has ever seen, she has settled in the Selwyn district with her family. We discuss why staying in New Zealand was the best decision Dani ever made.
