Country Profile

Situated in the Pacific Ocean some 2000km from Australia, New Zealand is remote and isolated, which give the country the charm and character that makes it such a popular choice for migrants. With a population of just 4.1 million, people are out numbered some 10 times by the number of sheep, which makes it the ideal destination for those looking to get away from the rat race of Western society.

The country itself is split over 2 main islands; North and South. Both islands have there own identity; whether it is multiculturalism of the commercial capital of Auckland in the North Island or the quiet scenic surroundings of fjords such as Milford Sound in the South. Between these two extremes are mountains, beaches, galciers, cities, villages and almost every other variation.

Yet as beautiful and rural as New Zealand can be, it is not a destination for just those looking to retire. The city of Queenstown is the home of extreme sports and Auckland, Christchurch and Wellington all have fantastic openings in careers which vary from I.T professionals to creative designers. If you are looking to readdress your work life balance, New Zealand could be your ideal destination.
