Hi Geordie
Keep in mind that touring a place is not the same as living there. You might feel enchanted by the scenery which puts you in a euphoric state of mind. In such a state one tends to overlook realities which could be the key to your happiness later on. Looking at city layouts, shopping facilities, schools, universities, transport, housing, social factors, etc would be my priority.
Auckland is the number one destination for immigrants when it comes to job opportunities, but it is very expensive as far as accommodation goes. Social life for young people is usually more developed in larger cities.
