Been here 1 years
I moved to NZ back in 1997. That is a typo on the heading of years as it should have said 11 years. The only issue is I should have done it years before. I am a Kiwi citizen since the year 2000.
It a nutshell: "You won't get rich in New Zealand but you will lead a rich life".
Things which are expensive or unobtainable in other countries are free. Can you put a price on being safe or your children being safe. I am originally from the USA so seeing young children walking on the street is a pleasure for me. A simple thing but says a lot. Clean air. I often go for a walk on the beach and I am the only one there.
I know a lot of people who don't lock their doors to this day. I was gone once for two days and accidentally left my front door wide open. Everything was fine on my return.
I moved here for the people. It is changing but there are still a lot of great people around. The kindness and good will of people still blows me away sometimes.
Regards
Cliff
