Travel Review: Family Trip to New Zealand, History, Culture, Nature, Hiking

There were so many memorable parts of our trip, but the thing that stood out most was the people of New Zealand.  We wanted to learn about the country and culture, and that we did (at least as much as one can in 2 weeks)!  New Zealanders are incredibly friendly, helpful, and it was clear in every interaction we had that they are proud of their country, and love when others see how special it is.  

We so enjoyed seeing the incredible landscapes and learning about the natural history of the land.  Beautiful!  From the rolling farmlands in the North Island, to the rugged west coastline, and Fjiordland on the South Island, there is no end to breathtaking landscapes.
