Ranking as one of the safest and most stable countries in the world, New Zealand is an absolute delight to live in. It is a country of natural beauty, with a comfortable temperature throughout the year.

Over the past decade, tourism and education have seen a dramatic increase in significance, now being among the major earners for the country.
