One of the major factors when we considered moving aboard was the environment. Masses of mountains, vast valleys, blue seas and volcanic pools all appealed and ultimately influenced the decision.
Unfortunately when you work in the city, you don't get to see as much of it as you'd like. The view from home is awesome. We have the beach, the ocean and the mountain view at the same time. Plus if all the gets too much, we can just cross over the road and be in a nature reserve.
In stark contrast, the view from work is not awesome. Don't get me wrong, a seat with a view is great and is a premuim in the city, but it's not awesome. And it certainly isn't the scene set by the 100% NZ Tourism video. Still, I do get a patch of sky at the top so can check the weather!
