Hobbiton, North Island, New Zealand

I'm delighted to share my journey as a travel advisor who has been fortunate to immerse myself in the vibrant cultures of New Zealand and Australia. My experiences were made possible through working holiday visas, which allowed me to truly become a part of these remarkable countries. During my time on these visas, I had the privilege of working and traveling extensively, discovering the heart and soul of both nations.

As I ventured through New Zealand's breathtaking landscapes and Australia's diverse regions, I came to appreciate the immense variety these countries have to offer. From lush forests and pristine beaches to bustling cities and charming outback towns, there's a treasure trove of experiences awaiting every traveler.

The flexibility of my working holiday allowed me to work part-time and explore during the rest of my time. This unique balance provided me with an authentic insight into the daily lives of locals, and a chance to forge connections beyond the typical tourist experience. I've hiked the trails, engaged in water sports, encountered extraordinary wildlife, and embraced the distinct flavors of each region's cuisine.

One thing that consistently struck me was the sheer diversity that these countries present. The landscapes change dramatically from one region to the next, and the wildlife is equally varied and captivating. You might find yourself in awe of New Zealand's towering mountains and glacial lakes, then be amazed by Australia's vast deserts and coastal wonders.

Given the lengthy flights from the US, I highly recommend dedicating a minimum of 10 days to truly make the most of your journey. Of course, the more time you can spare, the more you can delve into the richness of the experience. And that's where I come in to assist!

I'm here to help you streamline your options and craft an itinerary that maximizes your time, ensuring you return home feeling fulfilled and invigorated.So, whether you're captivated by New Zealand's enchanting landscapes or Australia's sun-soaked shores, let's work together to create a journey that encompasses your interests, provides authentic cultural encounters, and showcases the splendors of these incredible destinations.
