Thanks for your lovely words about the photos! And I love the fact that you know letstravelsomewhere.com too – Makes me proud ;)

Where about in NZ do you live?

These 28 days in new Zealand where the best I ever had!
Before I started the trip, I was also a bit concerned that I would be stressed just because I squeezed in a lot. But I have to admit that it didn’t feel like it at any point during the trip. I always tried to have time for chilling in between. For example I spend 4 full days in the Rangitata Valley or a week in Queenstown (including the Milford Track). That was really good. But I have a lot of other areas/places I want to see during my next NZ trip – which will hopefully happen next year again…

Take care!
Best, Nisa

My partner & I emigrated here just over two years ago now and while we have seen a lot, fitting so much into 28 days is impressive – I hope you get to see a lot but don’t feel too rushed. Looking forward to your photos – the photos on your blog are amazing, as are the photos letstravelsomewhere – Wow!

You know if I imagine NZ 11 years ago, I wouldn’t think that a lot has changed…but that’s just my impression because it seems like time stands still here.
So far my trip has been amazing and I can’t wait to explore more of this stunning country – which btw has made it to my top 3 all-time-fav-countries to visit :)
Hope you’ll enjoy Vienna, Prague and Budapest – three cities I love very much. Prague is one of my favourite European cities & I’m sure you’ll enjoy it very much!
Take care & all the best,
Nisa

And that was some 11 to 12 years ago and I was in High School. Since then the only country I vowed I would visit before I die, was and still is New Zealand.

I am extremely happy for you, and at the same time cant stop envying you too (:P). I sincerely wish you have a wonderful trip.

This Friday I am about to embark on a 3 city trip PRAGUE > VIENNA > BUDAPEST with my office colleagues. And while searching for Points of Interest in Vienna (to be squeezed in a 24 hour schedule, which includes nightlife) I came across your blog. I must say am very impressed with both the site design as well as your photography. Keep up the good work, and continue making this world a smaller place :)

Cheers,
Debapriyo

I’M right in the middle of my trip and so far it has been absolutely amazing!!! I love this country already & I already have a list of things I will do during my next visit (hopefully this time next year again).
Two weeks is really not that much, so you should decide between the North or South island first – you want to go hiking here or do you have other plans?
Hopefully more of my post will give you a good impression :)
Best, Nisa

I am hoping to be going to New Zealand next February / March so I will be eager to see your photos and your review of places you have gone! Unfortunately, I will only have about 2 weeks, so I’ll be interested to see which places are your favorites. Enjoy your road trip!

Thanks so much for your comment!
True, I’m very keep on seeing a lot of LOTR sights. I guess as a first-timer in New Zealand, it’s a pretty good start to get an impression of the country. The Tongariro Crossing is high on my list and I will do it for sure. As with beaches, I would love to go up North as well, but I simply don’t have the time to do so…will be on my list for my next visit :)

Thanks also for the weather tips – much appreciated!

Take care & all the best,
Nisa

I recommend the the Tongariro crossing if you can – it’s great.

Plenty of the LOTR sites are chosen for filming convenience, so a lot of NZers are pretty unexcited by them – there’s plenty more scenic spots :-) I grew up near Matamata & Coromandel, so find it hard to see what the fuss is all about.

Bring a coat for down south – we’re having the wettest summer in years.

Feel free to email me if you have any ‘local knowledge’ questions. :-)
