New Zealand

A pair of articles is a thin start for a country that usually rewards the long trip, and the New Zealand category is one of the smaller corners of the site. We are still expanding this section. So far it covers fun activities in Queenstown and a piece on planning a caravan trip across the country.

Future coverage will likely follow the slow-travel approach that suits both islands, with the South Island mountain and fjord landscapes, the North Island volcanic plateau, the Maori cultural heritage that travelers should engage with seriously rather than as a photo stop, and the practical questions of car rental, freedom camping, and seasonal weather. Long-distance hiking pieces on the Great Walks and the rail journey on the TranzAlpine sit on the planning list.
