 New Zealander If you check the globe, you will find that we pop up out of the pacific in the southern hemisphere. We are known as Godzone because of our natural pureness, beauty and wondorous landscapes. North Island and South Island, we are all Kiwi people. You are welcome here. I love the freedom to do all things possible, therefore I love my country. Do you have a connection with NZ? What are your thoughts on this Nation. Let's talk.      |

| I've had the wonderful good fortune to visit NZ a couple of times. First time was on one of those Con-Tiki tours when I made some great friends there. I've since been back to visit. (They live in Palmerston North.) One of my favourite places on the planet is Paihia. |

| Caesar, Hi. Hope your job is worth the down side of how you view AKL. I think mine is. I am in the rural zone and travel fifty kms to my job which again is remote. Don't see very much of the fast city life. I do enjoy being in amongst it all from time to time though. Have you seen all or much of NZ? Do you think that attitudes vary much at all from region to region, top to bottom?  |

| Been once for a holiday. Can't wait to go back. Anyone who has travelled to a few different countries should put N.Z. in their must visit list.

| I want to move to NZD! Quote:
I've been looking into moving to NZ because it looks like dreamland to me. I also read about the people and government in NZD and it sounds amazing. People sound like they're very down to earth. Where would be the best place to move considering the following criteria: I want to live 0-30 minutes from some of the best surf spots, in a warm climate. I want to be within 30-60 minutes of a large city, with lots to do. If you could answer those for me, I'll probably move to NZD and hug you.

Auckland has more people and more traffic. It is spread out a bit too with no central place that has everything. Christchurch is in the south island and is therefore a bit more chilled out. Wellington has a very compact city centre with everything a 5-15 min walk away. Good weather over all but when it is wet and windy the rain comes in sideways. Lots of cultural events and festivals. Depends what sort of job you work, pace of life style that you want etc. Wellington is where the government is, Auckland has more big businesses. I live in Wellington and a few of my mates are avid surfers, some even own a surf shop in Lyall bay. |

| haha thanks for quick responses! I've also been looking at Mahia peninsula and Piha beach, they look beautiful but looked somewhat remote. Right now I live in the US in New Jersey. Water temp gets 5-10 Celsius (36-42F) in the winter, and only warms up to 70F MAX for less than two months out of the year, so water temp is no problem. Very unconsistent, weak swells. You need to constantly watch the weather and time it right to score any decent waves.
