TWICE THE FUN AND ADVENTURE
This is my first time in New Zealand, and it has always been on my bucket list. I've heard of stories of how beautiful it is, and how sheep outnumber the human population. I said to myself that if I ever visit, I must do and experience everything I can. And so, I did. If you told me that I would be skydiving on Valentine’s Day in New Zealand, I would have probably laughed and said I have better things to do (or should I say more romantic things to do, if I had a partner). But that’s exactly what I did, and I have no regrets whatsoever. Why would I not mark this romantic day with such an amazing experience?

I took a side trip around two cities in New Zealand after visiting one of the country’s best vineyards (which you can also read in this issue), to Auckland and Queenstown. Although they are located on different islands opposite each other, there are a lot of similarities to both cities. Both are bay areas that offer lots of unique activities (my skydiving experience took place in Auckland, if you were wondering, but more on that later), a cool and contemporary vibe, and good food. I split four nights between the two cities, and it was truly not enough time to enjoy even just the pure New Zealand air. A great first taste, but it will leave you wanting more, even to the point of wanting to retire here.
