Lily's Journey - My nana

Lily's Journey

Lily was born in Apia, Samoa. However she is not yet a
New Zealand citizen. She had arrived here in New Zealand 
1969 for a better life. She did have family here, she had a
brother that paid for her flight to come here. My nana came 
by plane but she did not stop at any countries.

Usually, sometimes they would stop at Tonga, wait a while 

then leave to their destination. She departed from Apia,

Samoa and chose to come to Auckland, New Zealand. 

The people in Auckland were very friendly and warm 

welcoming to my nana and her family. The difference between 

Samoa and New Zealand was that there were more job 

opportunities, better housing and better pay. My Nana

did not get homesickness. My nana cannot pick between 

Samoa and New Zealand to be her home because both of 

the countries have treated her with respect and love. One 

of the obvious things that she misses from Samoa is the food. 

Some of the food that they would eat is Taro, Corned beef, luau 

and many more. My Nana has visited her home country a lot of 
times. She is still hoping to go back again to visit some of her
family.
