Trip location
New Zealand. A country that is a natural wonder in and of itself. Whilst cities like Auckland and Wellington are awesome for culture, cuisine, and beauty, the most common reason people travel to ‘middle earth’ is to experience nature like they’ve never experienced before.
From snow capped mountain ranges and rugged coastlines to rolling green hills and glorious glaciers, New Zealand is an outdoor playground that will turn any urbanite into an outdoor enthusiast.
