Auckland

"Auckland is known as the “City of Sails” as we are surrounded by water. With a population of approximately four million people, it's a diverse little place with people from all over the world living here. Auckland is a laidback city with plenty to see and explore from the land or by boat. English is widely spoken and it is a safe place to visit with friendly people everywhere." – Beth
