New Zealand is one of the few places where you can go to the snow, the beach, and the desert all in the same day. The country’s geography is nearly unparalleled — from its snowy capped mountains and expansive wine vineyards, to lush bucolic hills. People here are exceptionally wonderful. Even more exciting, the number of sheep outnumber the amount of people living in the country. On sheer picture value alone, New Zealand is worth a visit. When delving deeper into the country’s fabric as a whole, there’s a reason why much of its population wants New Zealand to remain as somewhat of an afterthought.
