I used to live in and grew up in New Zealand, if you like the outdoors there's no where better in the world, it also has fantastic internet connectivity with commonly available fibre to the home and has had decent internet for years - when I moved to Australia 5 ½ years ago I was amazed - I went from 200Mbit down 80Mbit upload to 6mbit down and 0.5 upload in a brand new apartment, I had to move house twice before finally getting on to what they call(ed) the NBN which was fibre but limited to 100/20, and which has since been shitcanned back to copper by the recent anti-internet government. So if you want good internet, hiking, skiing and riding motorbikes New Zealand is great. But it has a high cost of living, low income and yes, the cities are small and get old fast, there's also a bad drinking culture and it's not awfully racially diverse. So there's ups and downs just like everywhere.
