It's finally time, my two-month stay in beautiful New Zealand is over. After 35 hours of endless flight, I am back home at my desk, to reflect on my experiences. But honestly, I...

Christmas tree after Christmas tree, each one higher and more festive than the next. The central department store is dressed up with an oversized Santa Claus and two reindeer, and...

For almost a week, we have been on a "farm" that is a good 15-hour walk from the center of Auckland, but still technically part of Auckland. Why did I put "farm" in quotation...

Our journey took us from Paihia to the (almost) northernmost point of New Zealand. We opted for a day trip that had it all.

After days of seemingly endless bus rides, we finally found ourselves back in Auckland to plan the rest of our journey from here. I have to be honest - I didn't miss this city....

And that's exactly why we came back to Wellington. We owed it to this city after it warmly welcomed us on our first visit. I still don't know exactly what it is, but this city...

From the south of New Zealand, we continued our journey northwards, this time to the east coast of the South Island. I warmly welcome you to Christchurch, the city of eternal...

After almost three weeks in New Zealand, we had actually reached the southernmost point of our trip: Queenstown.

One would think that after four days of continuous rain, there would be a break in sight, but that's not the case in the South Island of New Zealand. In our destination today,...

Hello dear readers! First of all, I apologize for the big gap between the last blog posts. We have been on the South Island for a few days now, but the internet here is very...

Wrong capital. Wellington was today's destination of our journey.

During a two-hour stopover at Tongaririo National Park, Lisa gave us the opportunity to explore the beautiful nature of New Zealand once again.

Upon arrival, I was overwhelmed. We've already established that Auckland is not the most beautiful city in New Zealand. Also, it should be clear that there are only limited parks...

The sight was equally impressive and terrifying. Any plants around this spectacle were dead and swayed gently in the steam. If we didn't know better, this sight could have passed...

Dragged out of our beds, we stood at the Kiwi Experience bus stop at 8 o'clock sharp - because today our tour of New Zealand finally started.

Since our arrival in Auckland, we haven't even seen the sun, let alone the blue sky of New Zealand.

It was magical, it was stunning, it was finally New Zealand.

Without having seen the rest of the country, I can still claim with some certainty that Auckland is not the most beautiful spot in New Zealand.

Auf zum Bus, der sich durch den Feierabendverkehr drängelte. Und dann, endlich im Hostel. Bett, Dusche, Toilette. Super.
