What a lovely way to spend your retirement.

Im am Australian but have visited NZ on many occasions. NZ has absolutely breathtaking scenery with enormous mountains. There sre so many lively things to see and do.

It is smaller than Australia with less distances to drive, so this was a great benefit when traveling and exploring. I found the people to be divine!

One thing I like the most about nz is the cultural preservation that the North island has especially. The Maori culture is alive and well and I really enjoyed my experiences there.

I love Australia. I am very proud of our country and of all it has to offer. It is equally as beautiful as NZ in different ways.

It is bigger and has desert which takes s long time to cross. We too have breathtaking beaches and a surf culture to boot.

I think whichever country u choose to spend time in...the other is also well worth a visit.

Good luck with your decision and I hope u enjoy your experience
