Top 10 must-see travel destinations: New Zealand



 Top 10 places to visit in New Zealand 


I moved to New Zealand back when I was seven years old, and as I grew up, I wanted to find some fantastic places to visit. I found the ten best places to visit in New Zealand. 


This list will contain five places in the south island of New Zealand and five of the north island. 


North Island


1- Matamata

All my hobbit fans will definitely want to check out Matamata, where the shire lays. 







But for all my non-hobbit fans, there is still a lot to do in Matamata, from the Wairere falls to the opal hot springs. 


2- Pouakai

If you love long walks, The pouakai range is for you, but even if you don’t want to go on a walk, there is still a lot of sightseeing to do. 



3-Waiheke Island

From beautiful beaches to wine tours 

Waiheke island has something for everyone. 



4-Rotorua

From the hot springs to the Maori culture, Rotorua is a must-go destination. 



5-Coromandel

The coromandel has such a vibrant history that it’s no wonder most people rave about going to the coromandel on holiday. 



South Island 


6- Wanaka 

Want to relax on the lakefront Wanaka is the place to go



7- Hanmer springs

From the hot pools to amazing snow views, Hanmer Springs is a must-go destination in the winter



8- Oamaru

Take a step back in time and go to Oamaru; with old victorian buildings, penguin seeing, beautiful views and steampunk culture, Oamaru is one of my favourite holiday destinations. 



9- lake Tekapo

Lake Tekapo is the perfect destination to stargaze in hot pools with a drink in hand. 



10- Bluff

The bluff oyster festival is a must-see event when in the South Island or New Zealand. Held once a year, there is so much fun to have, and if you go to the top of Bluff hill, you are sure to get some beautiful photos.

Rebranding my business

I started  BeautyQueens Beautys back in April 2019, and nothing really came off it. I made an Instagram account, had business cards made, and even tried to sell my dream catchers.  Sadly, in my business's lifespan, I only sold a total of about five dream catchers, which left a lot of stock. In January, I decided to try and rebrand my business; this post is what I have done so far to rebrand my business and what my next steps are. I started by removing all my old posts and photos. I saved the best images, made them into better-looking posts, and just put them straight onto the Facebook page. I spent about two hours editing the photos, thinking of the captions and tags to get the best coverage. At the moment, I am making a dreamcatcher for my child, which is one of my most complicated dream catchers yet. When the dream catcher is finished, I will be posting it on Tiktok to try and get more public attention on my creations as well as starting to list them online for sale through...

The benefit of learning a new language and tips on how to do it

  Learning a new language can be such a rewarding learning experience. I have been using Duolingo since April 2022 to learn Spainish after years of struggling but wanting to learn the language. I now have had a streak since the 10th April 2022 without missing a day and have learned a lot so I though I would compile a list of the benefits of learning a new language and some tips on how to do it for those of you who also want to learn another language.  Benefits of learning a new language 1. Cognitive enhancement: Learning a new language can boost your memory and recall abilities. Multilingual individuals also tend to have improved problem-solving and critical-thinking skills. 2. Cultural Awareness: Language learning provides a deeper understanding of other cultures and perspectives. Knowing the local language also enriches travel experiences and interactions with locals. 3. Career Advantages: Being bilingual or multilingual opens up more job opportunities and can lead to higher...
