Wanting to know what's in store for the next part of my adventure? Check out some of the things I have planned and/or activities and places I've heard about that I'd like to check out. Have you gone somewhere or heard of a must-see place? Feel free to let me know and I'll try to add your ideas to my adventure - you can live vicariously through me :)
Plans 'Set in Stone'
(that can be changed if needed)
Skiing in Queenstown
Less than 24 hours after landing in New Zealand, I'll be boarding another plane (as if 13 hours on a plane wasn't long enough!) with Lauren, Rich, and their friend to Queenstown. We will hit the slopes and enjoy a day of skiing (yes - Winter IS in August in New Zealand...they are a bit backwards from us Canadians!). Click the photo if you want to read a bit more about what we might see while there. |
24 Day Tour of New Zealand
I've joined a 24 day tour intended for 18-39 year olds, hitting up all the hot spots of New Zealand. I figured it would be a great way to see the country, while meeting some people that hopefully I can create friendships or travel plans with for the next part of my adventure. You can check out the itinerary of the trip by clicking on the map to the left. |
Cool Things I Hope to Do or See
Maui Dolphin TourMy brother-in-law saw some documentary on the Maui dolphin that lives off the West coast of the North Island of New Zealand. He's been talking about how my trip to New Zealand wouldn't be complete without taking a trip to see these dolphins. His excitement about these dolphins got me intrigued, so I started doing a little research. Turns out for once he was telling the truth - there are less than 50 of these dolphins left in the world. They are one of the smallest breeds of dolphins, and are soon to be extinct. I guess it turns out they are very people friendly and there are tours you can take where you can swim with packs of them. I'd like to check it out, but only wish they could guarantee that there were no sharks to be seen on the tour!
