Video: Our First Month of Travel in New Zealand

We certainly started our big fat travel adventure with a lot of energy. We packed so much into our first month of travel; driving from Paihia in the North Island all the way down to Queenstown in the South Island.

We travelled by car, trains, boats, helicopters and planes. We saw glaciers, rainforests, mountains and volcanoes. We hiked, we jumped, we luged, we parachuted and we swam.

After years of planning, dreaming and saving, life on the road had a lot to live up to but we weren’t disappointed. This is one month we’ll never forget – thank you New Zealand, we can’t wait to see you again!

    Great round up of what you’ve both been up to in New Zealand. Great films & photos maybe you could persue careers as camera men or film directors in the future.

      Ha, thanks Ann! Our video and photography skills aren’t great but this trip is the perfect time to improve them.

      Thanks Patti. We had so much footage it took us ages to go through it all and choose the best bits – New Zealand was made to be filmed and photographed!

      Thanks Beast, we had fun making the video; it’s a great memento of our time in New Zealand. We love that song too, in years to come I’m sure hearing it will bring back all kinds of memories of travelling around New Zealand.

      Thanks Jamie, I think we’re going to struggle to find anywhere else quite as beautiful as New Zealand.
