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. 



What’s your favourite destination in New Zealand?

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...

How to tell if you are a rebound or if the guy really likes you

Oh, the agony, you are talking to a guy, and he is giving mixed signals about if he really likes you or if he is pretending to use you as a rebound; well, I have compiled a list for both to help you work out what you really are. We have all been there at least once in our lives; you start talking to a guy, and you can not make sense about how he is really felling; there are a few telltale signs about what you are. Now rebounds are not just sleeping around; they can be emotional too. A rebound is only a relationship or relations that happen while they are still getting over there partner. 90% of rebound relationships will fall apart within three months, but how long it takes to heal from a relationship depends on how long the relationship was, the person and if the relationship was over way before it actually ended. some signs you are just a rebound are: they are totally in love with you even though you haven't known each other long your relationship moves really fast...
