New Zealand is a beautiful country. However most kiwis would rather get on a plane and explore other parts of the world, rather than taking the time to explore our own backyard! Evident by the fact that I haven’t visited any of these places below (except for the photos that are my own, obviously haha!)
Now that Scarlett is starting to get old enough I’ve decided we need to start exploring NZ more!
Fiordland – Home to Milford Sounds and some breathtaking parts of the country!
