✨ The most normal thing in New Zealand that completely shocked me as a Filipino mom… 😳
It’s not the scenery.
It’s not the weather.
It’s the playgrounds. 🛝🇳🇿
One thing I immediately noticed after moving here is that playgrounds are everywhere. It feels like there’s one on almost every corner! Whether you’re in a neighborhood, near a school, or at a local park, there’s always a place where kids can run, climb, explore, and just be kids.
They’re clean, thoughtfully designed, and completely free to enjoy. As a mom, I love that outdoor play is so accessible for every family.
It’s one of those simple things that made a huge impression on me, and I honestly wish we had more spaces like this back home. ❤️
