Discover Aotearoa’s Wonders

Visiting New Zealand was an absolute dream. I spent mornings exploring the pristine beaches and afternoons wandering through vibrant street markets. The highlight was definitely seeing Milford Sound, Tongariro Alpine Crossing, Wai-O-Tapu Geothermal Wonderland, Abel Tasman National Park, Waitomo Glowworm Caves, Lake Tekapo & Aoraki/Mount Cook, which offered breathtaking views and a deep dive into local history. Every meal felt like a celebration, thanks to the fresh produce and friendly vendors. I can't wait to return!

My trip to New Zealand exceeded all expectations. The variety at The Grove in Auckland, Logan Brown in Wellington, Flox in Queenstown, Fortune Terrace in Christchurch, Hans Herzog Winery & Restaurant in Hawke's Bay, Charley's Eatery in Wellington, Fleur’s Place in Moeraki, Ralph’s Bar & Eatery in Auckland was incredible— from cozy street-side cafes to upscale bistros, every dish was bursting with flavor. I also loved joining a cooking class to learn authentic recipes firsthand. Cultural performances at dusk added an extra layer of magic to the evenings. Highly recommended for food lovers!
