New Zealand

It’s incredible how much diversity you can find in a land barely twice the size of New York. New Zealand has it all – jagged mountains, white sand beaches, jungle, and soft rolling farmland. It’s the world’s number one new travel destination, and for good reason. You can ski in the morning and sail in the afternoon, enjoy an elegant wine tasting one day, and a craft beer tasting the next. The landscapes are to die for, but the people provide all the charm.

Best time to go: November – March for beach weather and lush greenery
