Why live in New Zealand?

 New Zealand is one of the most safe countries in the world today.

This from recent immigrants:

"The people here in NZ are the friendliest I have ever met.  That was not the real reason that I came here but it is such a BONUS!!  I feel so welcome."

"The banking system is one of the most advanced in the world" - from a UK Banker

"I just love this clean green beautiful country where I can achieve such a great work-life balance"

Wellington, the capital city has been dubbed  - "The Coolest Little Capital in the World" (in a survey by Lonely Planet Magazine).

"Wellington is a compact, cosmopolitan city in a beautiful environment."

"NZ is a small country with the same disciplines as a big country.  Because of its size, it is easy to gain new skills & experience by transferring to another service within the same area without too much trouble."
