I'm fortunate here, I'm sorted for outdoors. I live on the other side of this hill. ?
Wide variety of spectacular, empty landscapes within easy driving distance. Pretty much everything except desert, really. But NZ is punching way above average for natural beauty.
NZ has its problems, sure. But we're not so stressed here as you guys are. There's pros and cons everywhere - I'd like more history around the place, and easier access to world cities, though Sydney and Melbourne aren't far away and I have contacts in both, so it's not so bad I guess. Still, we're a loooooong way away from everyone here. Has its advantages.
