A Little About Me

I was born in Wellington (bottom of the North Island) which is the Capital of NZ and moved across Cook Straight to Picton at the top of the South Island when I was young. I grew up in the small tourist town located at the end of the picturesque Marlborough Sounds.

Marlborough is a playground for all tourists on the water there is, kayaking, sailing, fishing, cruising, and diving all available from Picton. Back on dry land you can go tramping from easy 30 minute bush walks to 5 or 6 day full tramps with camping, or you could mountain bike the tracks. Then further inland in Blenheim there is vineyards galore and it's quite simple to arrange your own wine tour (if you can find a sober driver). Hunting is another popular Marlborough pastime. So there is definitely plenty of entertainment to find in the area.

I have now moved on from Picton and live about 2 hours North of Wellington near Palmerston North which is a good Base for the lower half of the North Island.

My boyfriends family lives lives in Central Otago which is right down the bottom of the South Island another popular destination for tourists. Queenstown is THE place to visit in NZ but it is really expensive because the tourists will pay for it. It is the center of extreme sports in New Zealand world famous for it's bungy jumping and ski resorts, the town itself is nestled at the head of a beautiful lake. There is a gondola that heads up the mountain to a restaurant overlooking probably the most magnificent views you'll ever find, there are also gift shops a luge and the bungy jump up there.

So I guess what I'm trying to say is that I have family and friends spread out all over NZ and therefore spend a bit of time in these places (so have the inside information) I also do a bit of traveling for work so get to see a fair bit of the country.

So all in all I want to share with you all that I discover throughout all of NZ and hopefully I can make your visit to my country much better.
