New Zealand - I loved it so much I became a Kiwi!
New Zealand - I loved it so much I became a Kiwi!
One of the most beautiful countries I’ve ever visited is New Zealand. In fact, I loved it so much I made it my home for over 7 years.
I first travelled there in 1996, as part of a work trip. I was already an Australian travel specialist and I wanted to learn more about its neighbour. We landed in Christchurch on the South Island and I visited Dunedin, Queenstown, Wanaka, Milford Sounds and Nelson and the beauty of the country and friendliness of its people made a huge impression on me.
Fast forward five years and, in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, I was made redundant from the travel job I loved, so decided to go on an adventure to New Zealand. I planned to stay four months... and ended up living there for nearly eight years!!
I had the time of my life. I went bungee jumping, snowboarding, zip-lining, white-water rafting, cave exploring, volcano climbing, whiskey tasting and completed many wonderful walks across the length and breadth of the North, South and Stewart Island.
So if you need a genuine New Zealand travel specialist, look no further. How genuine am I? Genuine enough to become a New Zealand citizen, which I did in 2007.
I can guide you on your self-drives, recommend out-of-the-way places which your average tourist doesn’t see and I can advise on air fares.
Talking about New Zealand is one of my favourite subjects, so give me a call today!
