New Zealand

Often overshadowed by its more popular neighbor, Australia, New Zealand is considered one of the true natural gems according to anyone who has been there. The landscapes are ideal for any shutterbug, and the larger cities (Wellington and Auckland) feature some of the most inviting people, best food, and more than what you could possibly hope to do with weeks in the country.

You'll fall in love with the wine, the Maori origins, the unique culture and the impossibility of having anything other than FUN.
