I recently took a month long trip to New Zealand to meet up with my girlfriend Samantha who was there  for four months. We rented a car and took the most amazing road trip around both the North and South island's. New Zealand is the most amazing place I have ever been, the scenery can't really be described. I have put up some photo's for you to see our adventure. Some of the more memorable things we did were, bungee jumping, backpacking, hiking, tubing through glow worm caves, and a boat trip through Fjord-land. We drove about 3000 miles in four weeks, and I can't wait to go back to see even more of that gorgeous country. If you would like to see more photo's click here.


Waihiki island was the first stop, this was about a 10 minute walk from our little cabin

Cow and amazingly green hills


This is what I woke up to our first night camping, there were dolphins jumping out there as well.

Our little campsite, beware of sandflies (the only thing worse than mosquitoes)


This place looked like Pandora, Northwest coast of the South Island


Pancake rocks, my favorite thing I saw the whole trip. Photo's don't do it justice.

Best sunset of my life, and that's saying something I've seen some good ones.


Wanaka is the best little town.
