Day 2 - Hobbiton
Reasearch and asking people for reccomendations saved me $100NZ just in one day. I found a cheaper way to get to Hibbiton other than the expensive private coaches just by asking someone if they had heard of anything. It was a long ... Read more >

Better get this in before the month end and then at least I can feel like I did it in my two month time frame. It's been a good two months. The weather over the summer has been wonderful, long hot days, plenty of opportunity to ride. Everyone was moaning ... Read more >

I LOVE Air New Zealand! that was by far the best 13 hour period I have ever spent on a plane. First - there was an individual television screen at every seat and the in-flight entertainment started as soon as you got on the plane - not after take-off.... Read more >

The long, summer days have come to an end. The clocks have gone back, the days are shorter and the town quiets down. The bathing suit clad backpackers have retreated from the lake and moved onto the next place. The foot paths through the parks carry ... Read more >

The Southland accent can be hard to understand. Every word that contains an R sounds Scottish, while every other word sounds like the normal Kiwi accent. My level of comprehension varied from person to person. The real trick with Southlanders ... Read more >

My HelpX experiences did not end in Wanaka. After leaving the kennels, I hitched a ride down to Invercargill - a booming metropolis in the deep south of New Zealand. The Southland region is home to two types of people - sheep farmers and ... Read more >
