I have been in New Zealand for almost 3 years now. A pity that I got invited to InterNations only 2 months ago…

What Is Expat Life in Auckland Like?
As New Zealand's most populous and economically active city, Auckland is the obvious choice of destination for most expats heading to the Pacific island nation. With a high standard of living and generally amiable weather all year round, the expat life in Auckland is a slow paced yet enjoyable one with a wide range of entertainment, leisure and shopping facilities available. In fact, the city is sometimes affectionately known as "the city of sails" by locals because of the sheer number or pleasure yachts that can always be seen sailing along the sun drenched coastline. But it's not all play and no work; as the economic center of this part of the world, business is booming in Auckland in a variety of industries, and gainful employment should be easily forthcoming for any expat with the right skills and a will to s쳮d.
InterNations is the largest global network for expatriates, with communities in 420 cities around the world. Meet fellow global minds in your city of residence or get to know local expatriates before you're moving or traveling abroad and never feel like a stranger. InterNations makes it easy for you to stay in touch with your expat friends, both online and offline, so you can grow your network of friends and contacts from all over the world. Whether they live in Shanghai or Singapore, InterNations allows you to be close to them even if they are miles away.
The InterNations Community for Like-Minded Expats
Who better to serve as your introduction to life in Auckland than a vibrant and active community of expats with cumulative years of experience? Whatever your question, query or requirement, our helpful and open community will only be one click away with all the answers your need. Life in Auckland is not too hard to adjust to for most European or American expats (or those familiar with Western culture), but as with any relocation, homesickness can be a problem. Luckily, InterNations is far from just an online service — with a wide array of local groups and social and sporting activities available for Auckland Community members, from salsa dancing and photography to coffee nights and outdoor adventure groups. Whatever your taste, there's surely something for the expat of any persuasion with InterNations! And for a more general introduction to the Auckland Community, you are more than welcome to join us out our local InterNations Official Events in the city, where you can network and socialize with fellow expats and global minds.
