I must admit, I'm with Miss. I spent some time living in Oz growing up and yet I always end up back here, it's just home. Would love my family to move back here but that'll never happen, they are well settled in Oz. I love to travel, took Maya to London and Vienna when she was a toddler and have done Europe, Asia and the States when I was younger, but I love coming home too.

I would love to move out of the city and live out in the country,but DH isn't that keen on it as he doesn't like driving too far to go to work. Even if we did move, it would around the Auckland region, mainly because all my family is here and now that we have Ella I am finally realising the importance of family and having the support around.
In saying that....if we ever got the big lotto win, my ideal country to live would be Switzerland (lived there for a year as an exchange student and feel in love with the country) and I would move all my family over with us

I enjoy living in Hamilton. Its a city so has lots of amenities close to hand, and is only an hour (ish) away from anywhere. If we were able to I would love to buy a bigger section on the outskirts. While we considered moving to Chch when we returned from our OE, now that we have kids I'm glad we stayed as both of our families are close by.

We are pretty happy here, but I dont see us staying long term. Its nice for now having little kids with both our families here. But there isnt much in the way of job opportunities for either of us and I know my hubby is getting bored with work, as I probably would be too if I was working. Just not sure where we would actually go...

We live in the country well small rural town and have done for the last 5 years, first Bulls and now Feilding and they are great for raising younger children, kids walk and bike to school here.
Having own home helps to make me more settled.
I grew up in Akl moved to London then Edinburgh and then came home and moved to Wellington.
I don't want to move back to Auckland been there done that and its just too busy.
I love Wellington, and DFs parents are in Stokes Valley and we've friends in Titahi Bay and both areas are great heaps to do.
I am now studying and have a great job and am feeling more settled by the day, its taken a while but finally starting to feel part of the Manawatu. Our children will be born here and will get to do country stuff which I never did.

We are in Hamilton, but moving to Pirongia this year, which is where DH's family are. I am really looking forward to it, my SIL and in laws are out there, its a small country village and I have a few friends out there too. The local school is a 5 minute walk away, and the local pub for DH is about the same! 
I don't think we would move to Oz permanently, even though my family are there, it feels right being here in NZ

this is a stepping stone... so we can move onto a better town to raise our children in. It's o.k but don't want to bring Luke up in Auckland it's too big and inpersonal.

We are in central akl and although we have sea views and are surrounded by trees I'd love to be somewhere closer to a beach where you can actually swim! I'd love to be in Torbay or Whangaparoa Peninsula. I would love a good view and lots of nature around but also need to be close to a decent city centre as I'm a shopper ;)

I love where we live and can't imagine living in another town at all. We are in North-West Auckland but live on 25 acres so we have a lot of privacy. And we are lucky enough to have a beach bach only 40 minutes away in North-East Auckland, lol, people probably think we are crazy but it works for us!

If we could get jobs that pay us the same as we are on now I would move in a heartbeat! A smaller town would be great!
We are also in love with Queensland...but with all the family over here we are reluctant to move away that far. Catch 22 reall.

I don't really care where we are as long as Dh and the kids are with me!
Loved living in Germany, Wellington and am enjoying Blenheim too... I guess a lot of it is what you make it?

Aussiegirl, I know a few people from my old work who lived in Pirongia and they rave about it, apparently the community out there is awesome!
We love living in Hamilton, just not in the location we are in at the moment - major main road right outside our door and the house shakes every time a truck goes past. So we'd like to move at some point. But both our families are here, we both grew up here and love this city, it has everything for us. We have lived many other places but this is home.
