YourRoadTrip New Zealand

Despite there being ten sheep for every one person, Aotearoa, or New Zealand,
has far more to offer the discerning traveller than a few woolly jumpers and a good
reason to clean your shoes after a mountain hike.
If you're not into nature, then you'd better start, because New Zealand really does
offer a mind-blowing array of stunning scenery including tropical beaches,
volcanoes, glacial valleys, vast waterfalls, rainforests and snowy mountains.
That scenery combined with hundreds of different heart-attack inducing activities
to rattle the bones of even the most fearless of travellers makes New Zealand a
uniquely unforgettable location to visit. Travelling here is about doing as well as
seeing and this is what makes it such an exciting destination for the independent
traveller.

Haere mai, bro
(Hello, mate)

Zealander

must-do on any trip

Five Ways to Reduce
Your Carbon Print
(and save money):
1) Drive at 10 mph below
the speed limit (driving at
60mph instead of 80mph can
cut fuel emissions and costs
by up to a third). Going
slower also means you get
to see more of the scenery;
2) Only take as small a car
and as little luggage as you
need;
3) Check to make sure the
engine works efficiently
before you buy;
4) Ensure your tyre pressure
is within the recommended
range; low pressure
increases resistance and
therefore fuel emissions;
5) Rediscover your sense of
adventure and take a trip by
motorbike or bicycle.
