Here are 28 photos that will make you fall deeply and madly in love with New Zealand, so much that you might just book a one-way ticket and stay there forever.

Home to the most stunning, diverse landscapes, the most delicious food & wine, the most adrenaline-rushing activities and the most iconic movie ever made… Need I say more?

Okay, let’s be honest, this place DOES NOT need promoting. But I’m going to do it anyway. It’s my little goodbye present to you NZ. No need to thank me.

So here you are, my favourite 28 photos I took during my time in NZ. Hopefully they will make you fall deeply and madly in love with this place, so much that you might just book a one-way ticket and stay here forever. Hey, it happens to more people than you’d think.
