Earthquake risk is similar to California, with very low (but not zero) risk in many places, e.g. Auckland.

The food is generally excellent in urban areas - cafe culture rules for those who can afford it.

Main issue is cost of living - housing and food costs are kind of silly relative to average income.

Mosquitos are really not an issue - people up north might have a different experience, but from Auckland on down, no one needs screens.

Thank you for sharing your experience! Big fan of Kiwis and so curious about the country. I really loved to hear first-hand experience.
