New Zealand is the top of mind of a country for expats in searching for a great work opportunitis, work life balance, and high quality of life. There are 2 cities that are popular for internships, which is Auckland and Wellington.

Auckland - New Zealand’s most populous urban area in the country which hosts 32% of New Zealand’s whole population. Known as the "City of Sails," Auckland's Hauraki Gulf is filled with sailboats on nice days in the summer. The entire city lives within half an hour of beautiful beaches, hiking trails, and enchanting islands, and is also famous for its outstanding food and unique Polynesian culture.

The fact that the city was ranked 3rd on the world’s list for the Mercer Quality of Living Survey in 2014, 8th on the Economist Intelligence Unit’s ‘World’s Most Livable Cities’ (2016), as well as the central business district being the major financial center of New Zealand, just demonstrates the diversity of the city and the endless opportunities for work and play. New Zealand’s “City of Sails” is the perfect place to sail into a career-defining internship.

Wellington - With 418.500 residents, Wellington is the second most populous urban area as well as the capital of New Zealand.  It is the major population centre of the southern North Island, and is the administrative centre of the Wellington Region.
