Sure, it is incredibly natural. New Zealand is filled with picturesque landscapes that, as yet, haven't been tortured by modernization. It's as if you're living in a part of Eden. So it's the best of both worlds, I think. It's an accepting place.
People are honest.
You feel free to express yourself here. I couldn't have picked a better country to call my second home. I love it here. A lot of New Zealanders laugh at that comment. I think that observation has more to do with the spirit of the people.
