If you ever get a chance to go to New Zealand, I totally recommend you go. NZ is very beautiful and so exciting. If you go make sure you know what the weather will be like. It was very cold when I went, and I wasn't very prepared. Although, the weather is very mild there, but for an East Texan g...

Corn on the cob connoisseur here. {Obviously I also love alliteration}
I love it when my favorite foods are served so good in places you wouldn’t expect, like that bean burrito with tater tots in a mall in Victoria, British Columbia.
I had a top 10, but I’m sure that would be boring, so he...

Heya,
I travelled New Zealand on 2001-2002 and easily found work at Atlantis Backpackers, a hostel in Picton (South island). Many hostels and farms are looking for workers, you can just walk in and ask - Kiwis are very friendly and will most likely do their best to help you.
You can also enter...

I lived here for several months. Really not bad.
Wai-O-Topu, Rotorua, Wellington, Christ Church ... All very nice places!
Actually New Zealand South even has more attractive scenes. You know 'The Lord of the rings', right? Then just come here to see the spectacular sites.

Why pay lots of money seeing glow worms at Waitomo Caves, when you can see them all for free at Waipu Caves in Northland, New Zealand.
The Waipu Caves are located 13 km inland from Waipu, a little village 2 hours north from Auckland (on the way to the Bay of Islands).
You have to travel over a gra...

mildrednz says:
Cromwell is a cool wee place to stop in at (or provides a cheaper alternative) on the way to either Queenstown or Wanaka. It has it's own charm with it being a historical hub (the Junction) for goldmining and lots of off the beaten track stuff to chill out and do. Whether it's sitting back and sampl...

The card will pay f...

The entire track can easily be walked in a few days. If you have a family, or not enough time - take a water taxi to Anchorage and casually walk back, or catch up with a water taxi at another bay (check which bays they stop at). Water taxis to Anchorage are $25 one-way per person, could be less for ...

Auckland is not the prettiest of cities and I hate to say it but i really wasn't a fan. Whilst you are there though a great way to see the city is on a kiwi experience or stray tour. Best of all its free!!!! You book it at the reception of your hostel and they pick you up in the morning and it la...

AUCKLAND - BRISBANE - SINGAPORE
The Boeing 777 rolled slowly down the runway ... isn't it supposed to run down the runway? Then it veered off the runway and I had visions of being stuck in Auckland for hours while the aircraft was being repaired. Fortunately, it was only a change of wind in Auc...

I had a really bad start to the trip. I was amongst the first to board the aircraft as I was seated at the rear. It was roasting inside ... after a couple of apologies by cabin crew, the Captain came over the PA to apologise for the heat as he had turned off one of the air-conditioning units. ...
