"Prudence is truly an expert in every step and was able to help move us along, from licensing, to finding a job, deciding where to live, and even the basics such as banking, insurance and buying cars."
"...the people have been the best reason to come. Kiwis have been kind, patient, understanding, and a joy to work with. The attitude is generally laid back with a family-first attitude. Kiwis pride themselves on excellent work-life balance."
"I love the beauty of Wellington and it's friendly people. I love all the fantastic places to eat. I love being able to walk into town from our house and hearing all the birds from the botanical gardens."
