My Story

Have you moved to New Zealand?

If you could spare some time to share your impressions of life in New Zealand, it will help people who may be trying to follow in your footsteps.

If you decide to share your impressions of New Zealand, please try to include as many details as you can. For example, rather than saying your quality of life is “good” or “bad”, try to say what is good or bad about your quality of life. This helps paint a much clearer picture of life in New Zealand.

If you are uncomfortable answering the questions about your earnings and house price, then please don’t. We added them because these are topics that people considering a move to New Zealand would really like to know more about.
