I live here in New Zealand and unfortunately I'm too depressed to enjoy it. The terrible weather doesn't help. On that note, I'd love to meet any HN folks in Auckland. I'll use this thread as an opportunity to reach out.
NZ is an extraordinarily picturesque country filled with sweet but naive people. As a small-town kiwi boy I have had my mind blown in the last few years traveling and working in some of the poorest parts of the world. The really difficult thing is coming back and trying to tell people there is more to life than the frequently changing weather conditions or the latest All Blacks result
Hit me up if you wanna meet up.
