The trip to New Zealand

I traveled to New Zealand from the 10th to 20th of November. This trip was a big challenge because it was the first time for me to travel alone! For all that, I joined a bus tour which took us to the southern island of New Zealand for 9 days.

There were 15 people in our group and most of them were from Europe. As they are young, probably early 20’s, they always got into any activities aggressively. I also had a go at some activities such as glacier walking, sky diving, jet boating and mountain biking.


One of my favorite towns in New Zealand is Queenstown. The town is very small but it has a big beautiful lake and many shops and restaurants for tourists. I really liked walking around the lake because the air is clean and the harmony of the lake and mountains is picturesque.


I saw heaps of sheep on grasslands by the mountains everywhere I visited. I have heard that the number of sheep is larger than the population in New Zealand. That’s amazing!

I was really impressed by the beauty of its nature and what I experienced there are great memories I will never forget.
