20 Pictures That Will Make You Want To Book A Trip To New Zealand Immediately

Five years ago today I left for my solo trip to New Zealand. Not a day goes by where I don’t miss this absolutely stunning country so I thought I’d put a post together proving why it’s the most beautiful country in the world! Although I spent three months here, there were still so many places I didn’t get to visit because there are so many wonderful spots to choose from. I hope one day you’ll make a trip here and if not, these pictures will give you a bit of a look into how awesome a trip there is! Here is a list and pictures from North to South from my favorite places I visited!

hahahaha omg I see what you’re saying. I didn’t know you were back so I thought you’d get my text at like 3:30 am lol! Oh really!? We just almost bought a house on the south end of Lake Leenanau but ended up getting one downtown! Love that lake, I am sure we will run into each other, this town is so small and we try to never leave in the summer because it’s just TOO good. And yes for seeing a gig, we play at some really awesome places! 

Yea I totally get that, it’s so hard to live across the country and missing fam. But so awesome you got to experience a different city before you settled back in GR. Plus, Grand Rapids is amazing now so why wouldn’t you want to move back? Oh you know me, just working 5-6 part time jobs! I get too bored when I focus on one so right now I am doing music, teaching, property management, marketing and sales and just started a self-care podcast we are trying to build! 

Oh that sounds awesome! I know where that development is! Perfect location. Well pre pandemic we are typically down there monthly to get a dose of city life so we are excited for when we can get back to that!
