Electrician "Where to Live?"

[Silky]

Hey guys, My partner and I will be going out in Jan 2012 to start a new life in NZ.

We will be flying into Auckland 1st, now I don't have a job offer as of yet but as its a Job that's not to city dependant I was wondering where in NZ you would recommend?

I know its a vague question and probably too big to answer in one post but Id like to have a starting point.

The sort of lifestyle I'm after is Country/Town living, Pref 1-2 hrs near a bigger city but not overly fussed about being too close. Near the coast would be a bonus. We don't have any kids or pets to worry about.

My background living in the UK has been Cornwall 20+yrs and the last 4yrs in the Channel Islands (Guernsey) those of you that know the areas can see what I like for surroundings.

Many thanks in advance, looking forward to the move.

Hey there.

I lived pretty close to the border of Devon, Small village of "Golberdon" located near Callington & Pensilva. Plymouth is about 30-40mins away.

Where were you based? & How is life out in NZ for you?

Hey Silky, if you are a sparky, Christchurch is the place to be at the moment! They are crying out for trades...

Good luck with the looking though.

Many thanks, Id guessed that Christchurch would be calling out for trades, Wasn't my number 1 choice for a place to live but if that's where the work is ill give it my best shot.

Thanks for the reply.
