It’s been 2 years now since I visited this wonderful country. And I think I still haven’t fully recovered. From its astonishing nature, its amazing and hospitable people to its general sense of exquisite beauty.
Putting into words what New Zealand means is quite difficult. Not trying to sound as a cliché, but it truly IS something you have to experience for yourself.
It’s kind of similar as trying to describe a picture. There are the most wonderful pictures in existence, but how do you explain the feeling you get when you’re there at that exact moment. Like when you drive through the most beautiful mountains, thick forest and winding roads only to arrive in the view of Milford Sound. Or the moment you’re swimming with untrained dolphins in the wild, never feeling more peaceful in your life. Or the time you make eye contact with a sea lion resting on the beach. And you know, you just know this is what life is supposed to be about.
They say:
“What one has not experienced, one will never understand in print.” But maybe all the entries at Blog4NZ will inspire you.
I tried blogging about my adventure the best I could while I was there (NZ entries here) I hope someday you will give New Zealand a chance and make your own memories in this breathtaking part of the world.
(just be prepared when you’re visiting other countries and someone says “isn’t this beautiful” you’ll always reply with “oh yes, that’s nice. BUT IN NZ HOWEVER…” obnoxiously so)
