New Zealand HERE WE COME! With only 15 days including flight, my husband and I will be making the best of our New Zealand trip with a jam packed schedule. It took me an entire weekend to put this itinerary together. I spoke with countless of friends and also made sure to check out other blogs, articles, and instagram accounts to create the best vacation New Zealand can offer and here it is! After talking with several people, the best way to experience New Zealand is by RV, many people may not know this but there are over 500 Freedom Camping Locations in New Zealand, there are some campgrounds you need to pay for based on location and amenities that charge per person. Also, we will be visiting New Zealand end of February to March, which during that time is the end of Summer in New Zealand. We are very excited!!!
