NZ has its good points and like any country its faults, plenty of hunting and fishing , Bird shooting , You can have a fairly good lifestyle if you have a reasonable amount of money
Fuel is expensive but the country isn't that big either
Trout fishing is good
I shifted to OZ 26 years ago , don't regret it , You adapt to different ways
If i was to shift back , top end of the South island Would do me , or around Hawkes bay , Taupo area
What i saw of the US , there are plenty of spots i would live as well.
Everywhere has its good points and bad
