Everybody that has ever visited New Zealand will probably agree with me that it’s an amazing country. The nature, the space, the people…it’s a special piece of stunning beauty. To those that have never visited the ‘land of the long white cloud’: you are missing out! 😉 I understand that it’s not possible for everyoneContinue reading “Top 10 things to see and do in New Zealand”

Here’s to happy taste buds!
A good way to explore a country is by trying its food and drink. After all, if there is one thing we all need, it’s something to feed ourselves with.

Hostelling International is the hostel chain that most people will know. I’ve stayed at plenty, because I was familiar with them, but always found them huge and impersonal backpackers factories. I mean, ever stayed at Sydney Central YHA? Then I travelled to New Zealand and discovered BBH. And I was spoilt forever. ❤ BBH (http://www.bbh.co.nz/) isContinue reading “Hostels that will forever spoil you”
