We have begun a new adventure. I’ve done the unthinkable! Camping. We picked up our campervan 5 days ago and started camping our way around NZ. First night we free-camped (I really jumped into this headfirst). Free camping is: camping at a legal site, for free. Usually just a parking space.

New Zealand Adventure Tour

New Zealand is, first, beautiful, and second, the adrenaline capital of the world. There was hang gliding, sky diving, swimming with dolphins, heli hiking a glacier, ice climbing; and run-of-the-mill activities like mountain bike parks or kayaking or just hiking through beautiful scenery including volcanoes, glaciers, and rain forests (sometimes all on the same day) and lots and lots of bungee jumping.
