How It Ranks
Don’t underestimate this small but mighty country located at the bottom of the world. An impressive mountain range and empty beaches are scattered throughout the country. Kiwis (a term for New Zealanders) are notorious adventurers. They invented bungee jumping and jet boating, two thrills that should be on everyone’s bucket list!
New Zealand is also a top spot to experience wildlife … and sheep! (There’s a myth that there are 20 sheep for every one Kiwi.) Sheep aside, voters accredited New Zealand with being an excellent country for citizenship, adventure and quality of life.
