Destination: New Zealand
A small island nation deep in the South Pacific, New Zealand is hard to reach from most of the rest of the world. Once there, however, expect to see breathtaking scenery and meet hospitable locals. Sheep outnumber citizens, and agriculture still provides the majority of exportable goods, but tourism has become the larger source of income since ∼2016.
You’ll find my personal experiences, or those of my family, here.
