Location
Open in Google MapsLiving in Wellington
New Zealand's compact capital, dubbed 'the coolest little capital in the world' by Lonely Planet, with a vibrant arts and cafe culture that punches well above its weight. The CBD is fully walkable and public transit usage is the highest in NZ, but prepare for relentless wind -- it's literally the windiest city in the world. Locals are genuinely friendly and the expat community integrates easily, though the cost of living is high for its size.
Morning surf before work, weekends tramping through Lord-of-the-Rings landscapes, and a laid-back culture where shoes are optional and nature is never more than ten minutes away.

Understand currency risk, international wire transfers, and whether you can get a local mortgage.
