I currently live in PHX, AZ but will be moving to Auckland, NZ in the next year. Part of the reason is bootstrapping, but there are others as well: lifestyle, getting a better balance in life, living in a safer, nicer, cleaner part of the world that is very western and modern. Beaches ;) (there are quite a few others as well).

I've done TONS of research on this and for me and my family, NZ makes the most sense. When we get there we'll look around at the various cities and towns, but we'll start in Auckland. The great thing about NZ is English, 4 hr time zone diff to west coast of US (+ 1 day, but really a 4 hour diff) and a great lifestyle balance. Plus, who wouldn't want to go to the place voted to be the most peaceful nation on earth!!
