Bungy Jump $165 Shotover Jet $109 Dart Jet $199 Skydive $299 (Prices in NZ dollars) These are just a few activities in one of the world’s biggest adventure city.  Sadly, my wallet was close to being empty.  However, I didn’t let my near-empty wallet stop me from having fun!

As the global warming continue to melt our precious planet, it is extremely imperative to view the glaciers, snow capped mountains, and all the natural wonders of our planet in order to be able to gain appreciation for caring our own environment.  Visiting the Fox Glacier in South Island was an experience that I absolutely […]

Flocks of sheep dash across the field causing dust to leap into the air – an image that depicted the intensity and the speed of sheep running across the terrain.  Mountains ascend from the grassy field and a scintillating lake.  A herder watches the sheep being crammed into a small area surrounded by gates.  A […]

There are very few places in the world that are just as special as Kaikoura, an area in the South Island.  This place is one of the few places where I would never get tired of going for an exercise walk.  Yellow grass adorns the landscape along with cylindrical haystacks.  Snow-capped mountains rest in the […]

Hues of pinks, blues, and purples spark up in the sky causing me to think I was seeing an aurora.  The lake shimmers in various colors as if I was listening to a music clip with a music visualization.  I feel as if I was living inside a painting.  I’ve never seen scenery so beautiful […]
