i can give you one negative for going.. and that is the weight of your suitcase with me inside it !!!!
Seriously, i have thought about your question and i cannot think of one reason why i would stay if i was in your shoes. Go fill your boots and leave this pocky country (UK) with its high taxes and crap weather, good luck , green with envy.

We did a month's driving tour of New Zealand in April and the only negatives we saw were ....... erm ... actually there weren't any! It's a fantastic country with fantastic people and a really laid back feeling. We'd emigrate there in a minute if they'd have us - unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much call for two professional lager louts in those parts!! My advice would be GO FOR IT! And good luck!

There's a few inconsequential negatives including, terrible public transport, salary to cost of living isn't that great, not much culture, fashion means very little.
But really it's a great place with very friendly people and the standard of living is very good, food is excellent and free, especially sea food, scenery is breath taking, buying a house is very affordable as is building your own!!
I've been here for a year form the UK and really cannot see myself leaving, it's a bit like home but with less problems, friendlier people and a better climate.
Come over it's great

I moved right here from the u . s . a . and holiday returned and forth with my artwork, for this reason I stay in the two places. unfavourable issues: each and every thing is of low high quality and extremely overvalued. The coaching gadget is extremely slack, with too lots interest spent on Maori learn (an extinct people and a ineffective language). too lots interest is spent on Maori issues ordinarily, which creates a subculture of ameliorations fairly of a subculture of togetherness. Violent society, the crime fee in New Zealand is 10 cases the crime fee of ny city!!! No freedom of speech, no freedom of the clicking, jury trials are set to be bumped off next year. the region has long previous to hell interior the final twenty years. severe taxes and all spent on lazy welfare beneficiaries who're a drain on society. undesirable scientific care. Is that adequate?

I went there 4 years ago to visit my sister. It was somewhere I'd never wanted to go and we argued like hell, but I'm glad I went there, it's a fantastic place with every type of landscape you could wish for. It feels like an exotic England. Friendly people, but a bit behind the times (they all seem to have food intolerances, which let's face it, is SO nineties!) Of course you have to say the place is wonderful and it is, but they need reassurance for living in what some people regard as the ****-end of the world (and I ashamedly admit telling my sister I wouldn't visit her in that "Godforsaken place")
You should go. Go for it. I'm hoping to do some antipodean travelling myself next year. Good luck

I'm an Australian but I'd have to say that New Zealand is the best country on earth. I'd love to live there. The south island is simply stunning. Peaceful, polite, rugged. It's just heaven!

It's a long way from the UK to get home in an emergency and expensive, and earning potential is limited. Apart from that I too can only think of positives. Go for it.

Must be a sailor or a sheep farmer to really enjoy it. You're at the end of the world. Sports consist of rugby, cricket and lawn bowls so you better be into these. I've heard say that, statistically, the majority of younger New Zealanders would choose to emmigrate.

The only negative is for people like myself who are over 30 & skint so can't get work visa/sponsor etc etc. If you've got the chance GO FOR IT. I'm envious! NZ is paradise.

Yeah, there's more sheep than people. And Asutralia just about smashes them at most sports. Oh and if NZ is such a great place how come half of em live in Australia. If your an Aussie and go to live in NZ the IQ's of both countries shall increase over night.
