New Zealand


Constant views of stunning landscape formations

The moment we stepped out of the airport at Wellington I knew I was going to enjoy my trip here. The people are unbelievably friendly and accomodating. New Zealand is very slow paced and appear to live a very relaxed lifestyle. No hassles. No drama. A simple life where people have been born and raised to appreciate the country they live in and as a result are very proud folk. I can't imagine that would take much though considering how beautiful their country is. Everywhere you look there is nothing but stunning scenery. A constant backdrop of incredibly beautiful landscape. Our plan for the next 10 days is to drive around the south island and explore as much of it as possible. Ali and I both regret that we don't have longer to stay in New Zealand but keep reminding ourselves — like we have throughout most of this trip — that we are fortunate enough just to be here no matter how brief our visit is.


There are 3 times as many sheep in NZ than people (honestly)
