Default Re: Where to go?

If you're looking for something varied, I'd suggest looking in the Hawkes Bay. Bay = beaches.

The restaurants here are without peer. And the vineyard life is good.

Cheaper than living in Auckland - and the pay is about the same if you have experience. It has great weather. Working in Auckland is fine - but it's kinda like Gothenburg. Just another city. If ya really want to see New Zealand, consider Hawkes Bay.

Nelson also has a similar climate - and beaches are nearby.

The plusses for both places are the fact that backpackers/travellers are always welcome if they have a strong back to pick apples or skills in hospitality.

Both are central to the wine industry, and have a little culture about them.
