With fast internet, you cannot get too lonely in NZ. It is still a developed country by world standard. However, many people are fleeing to neighbouring Australia to look for better jobs with higher income as NZ is getting poorer. Too many people, especially the native ethnic group, are getting free handouts without doing anything useful. The previous Government is doing its best to destroy the dairy industry which was the country's biggest earner. The country future is bleak. Don't live here, unless you want to use NZ as a backdoor to move to Australia.
One more comment here. I have gone to Alaska cruise, they have similar beautiful scenery as "milford Sound". I can easy visit Alakas and don't need to go far to NZ to enjoy this. I am in boston, MA, US.
