About me

Welcome to My Blog!

My name is Abdifatah Jelle – a storyteller, adventurer, and new Kiwi sharing an authentic glimpse into life in Aotearoa New Zealand. Through my lens as a recent transplant, I document the beautiful contradictions of building a new life halfway across the world – from navigating cultural nuances and finding my place in local communities to discovering hidden gems in this stunning landscape.

My blog is more than just a travel diary; it’s a honest chronicle of transformation, resilience, and growth. Here, I share candid insights about the challenges of starting fresh, the unexpected joys of embracing a new culture, and the universal truths I’ve discovered along the way. Whether you’re considering a similar move, curious about life in New Zealand, or simply interested in stories of personal evolution, join me as I unpack this remarkable journey one post at a time.

When I’m not writing, you’ll find me exploring New Zealand’s breathtaking trails, attempting to perfect my flat white order in true Kiwi fashion, and building bridges between my heritage and my new home. Welcome to my corner of the internet – where every story is an invitation to see the world through fresh eyes.
