Hey Naomi! Nope, you just hop on a plane for a couple of hours and you’re in New Zealand! I saw on your blog that you’re moving to Sydney soon, that is AWESOME! I am going there this weekend actually, visiting some friends. I’ve always liked Sydney, I’m sure you’ll love it too! And when you’re paying NZ a visit, let me know!

Thanks for the recommendations. Will keep those two cities in mind.

Hi Clement, I would recommend you to go longer than just a couple of days to New Zealand! There is SO much to see and it all is super beautiful. You won’t find awesome nature in cities though… But if you’d like to stay at a city to visit the surroundings, I definitely recommend Christchurch or Queenstown. There are a lot of mountains and lakes around (a couple of hours drive). Like Arthurs Pass, Lake Tekapo, Wanaka and many more.

Yes, it’s quite beautiful, the Blue Mountain near Sydney was quite memorable. I’m thinking of going to New Zealand for a few days after going to Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide. But that’ll be a couple of years later. Any recommendations on which NZ city to look at the natural scenery?

Hi Clement! I think it is more or less the same. They’re both very expensive countries. But in Australia, you’re more likely to earn more money than in New Zealand. So that included, it makes NZ a bit more expensive to live. But both countries are just so beautiful that it is worth the while to spend that money, don’t you think so? Are you planning to go to NZ?
