A pair of American tourists are desperate to flee New Zealand just a few months into their year-long trip after they said they were victimised by bullies and vandals.
Dorit Liss, 27, and her partner Andre, 29, said they have felt “nothing but unsafe and unwelcome” since they arrived from Colorado in late October.
“We’d be in a designated, like self-contained parking spot that was on the city council website, like approved place to be and people would just come by in the middle of the night, honking and yelling obscenities and banging on our RV, banging on other campers, you know, vans and whatnot in the parking lot,” Liss said.
“Everywhere we’ve been parked there has been some instance of someone coming by and honking at us.”
Liss posted to her YouTube channel last week recounting an incident in Christchurch that cemented their decision to leave the country.
