TikTok user Dinah shares her experience of moving to New Zealand alone and dealing with loneliness and adapting to a new life. She explains her motivation and the challenges she faced as a fresh graduate.

'I cried almost every night': Gen Z woman moves to New Zealand alone, speaks up about loneliness and adapting to a new life . That was the reaction TikTok user Dee.n4h, who only wants to be known as Dinah, received from some friends and family when she announced her big plan for 2023. While hardly a novel concept, what's rather unique is that Dinah was not interested in just a short-term visit. She wanted to live in New Zealand on her own for a full year.

When AsiaOne sat down with Dinah for a conversation, the 23-year-old explained that the idea of heading overseas came from a conundrum early in adult life.
