So, you’re planning a trip to New Zealand? 🇳🇿
Great choice — but before you start packing your hiking boots and a year’s worth of instant noodles, listen to this episode.

I’m sharing everything I wish someone had told me before I went: how long you actually need, which island is worth your time, how chaotic the weather really gets, and why buying your own car is the single smartest thing you can do.

From surviving the Devil’s Staircase to freezing showers in rivers (yes, that happened), this is your unfiltered survival guide to Aotearoa — the land of sheep, volcanoes, and sunburns in the shade.

Because New Zealand will test your patience, your budget, and your ability to dry laundry in constant rain — but trust me, you’ll still fall in love with it.

• North vs South Island differences

• Buy a car, don’t rent it 🚗
