Ive been to New Zealand. Lived there for nearly a year, about three years ago. Spent 6 months in North Island and made my way down to South Island, with a little detour to Fiji!!
I really loved it there, what a fab country with so much to do! I did a sky dive, walked on glaciers in Franz Joesph, did a month of fruit picking in Marlbrough, followed some of the Lord of the Rings trail....list goes on. Id recomend anyone to go, you just need a bit of time and a lot of money!! Its also one of the cleanest countries Ive been to. You can actually use public loos without catching anything, their road system is great and hostels and cost of living is cheap enough!
Anything else you wanna know just let me know! (Can you guess Im a bit of a fan!!)
