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.

Moving to a new country | with kids

Moving to a new country can be exciting but nerve wracking add in children and it can feel overwhelming to say the least, today I want to share all the advice and tips I have to move overseas after having just made an overseas move for myself with my two young daughters. Mid January I moved from New Zealand back to Australia, some of you may know that I was actually born in Australia and lived over here until 2011 so for me this was about returning home but for my kids it was moving countries for the first time and while my youngest had no idea what was going on as she was only 3 months old my eldest had a range of emotions and it was honestly quite tough on her at times. My first bit of advice is to just talk about the move, explain why you’re moving and what to expect in an age-appropriate way so that they can better understand what is going on, talk about all the positives with the move that would interest them from new experiences to making new friend...

Tips for decluttering

Decluttering can help create a more organized and stress-free living space or even just make it easier when it comes time to move. With my recent move I spent a few months slowly decluttering and downsizing my belongings to make the final step of selling what wasn’t coming and packing what was easier and I thought I would share some of the tips that helped me as an ADHD solo mum of two declutter my house after holding on and hoarding a lot of belongings from throughout the years. 1. Start small Choose a small area to start, like a drawer or a shelf, to avoid feeling overwhelmed. Work for a set amount of time, such as 15 or 30 minutes, to maintain focus and avoid burnout. 2. Sort items Label four boxes as "Keep," "Donate," "Sell," and "Trash." Sort all the items into these categories as you go, this also keeps things clean when you do decide to stop for the day. Remember to handle each item. 3. Evaluate necessity Ask yourself questions like: ...
