Jessie asked: Hello. I’m looking to move from the United States to New Zealand after I graduate from college. I’m a recreation and tourism major. I’ve spent time in New Zealand and I absolutely loved it. I’m meeting up with some travel buddies from England next summer I met while we were working on a conservation volunteer project through New Zealand. Even though we did get to travel last time, we want to go back and just travel and be tourists, since last time we were doing conservation work much of the time.
I figure this would be the best time for me to move: I don’t really have any possessions in my name such as a house, and I don’t have any outstanding loans since I got scholarships for college and my car is paid off. Most of my personal value is in savings accounts and not in material items that I’d want to take with me. It also helps that I’m not married and don’t have any children too. And I have a sincere interest in New Zealand; I’m not one of these people leaving the U.S. because of being mad at the president or economic situation.
I’m looking for some suggestions and advice. Not so much about residency visas and other forms of legal requirements since I’ll be reading in on them, but more personal observations. If you moved to New Zealand or have even lived in both countries, what did you notice about the two countries? Such as noticing taxes or the cost of living was much higher in one country than the other, cultural differences, things to be aware of, or the job market. Any insite you can give me would be much appreciated.

Aquaadventure asked: My preference countries are New Zealand and Canada. What will be the process of applying for a work visa? What are my chances? For a start I would like to do a management job either in tourism or hospitality because thats is my forte area. Australia too is not to be left out but I do not have 120 points and I am not willing to opt for a regional 110 points SIR visa.

Kate asked: My bf and I are doing a bit of world exploration this summer (June-Aug/Sept) and NZ is one of our longest stops.
We both love camping, biking, hiking, live music (esp. local or folk) and cultural events/sights.
With our interests in mind, is there a specific region that would be able to give us the best NZ experience in 2 weeks? A few days of online research has shown me that travel from north to south island is pretty difficult/expensive, even on train and bus. If we stick with one area, we’d also love to rent out bikes. How feasible are good day trips on bikes?
Keep in mind that we’re from Seattle, so rain, coffee,
mountains, volcanoes, moderate cold and ferries don’t phase us.
And just to make it more interesting, our goal budget is pretty much $0. Other than splurging for a bungee jump (Just one of those things I must do), we’re trying to use only camping, mountain huts and couchsurfing to survive. Any cheap/good food tips?
(PS: Are the Waitomo Caves overrated?)
Thank you!
