My Beautiful Country

New Zealand has an immense amount of really pretty places and one of my most favourite is Queenstown in the South Island.

Queenstown has this crispy clean air that you definitely don't get in Auckland. When Auckland is cold it's uncomfortable but when Queenstown is cold it's refreshing. When Auckland is humid Queenstown is not!! No mugginess!! Ah bliss! When my hair smells like exhaust fumes in Auckland from walking around, in Queenstown... well I think you get the picture ;) And speaking of pictures it really is an exquisite place, it looks like someone paints the scenery everyday. Low flying cloud among the mountains and the gleaming lakes. It feels kinda strange you're at the supermarket and oh look its nestled into the mountains... what?? You definitely don't get that kind of everyday scenery in Auckland that's for sure!

So if you can't tell already, I went to Queenstown a couple of weeks ago and this was not my first time but my fourth!! Yup I really do love this place and it contains some pretty cool people too! So here are a few snaps of my recent trip...

 Arrowtown - A cute historic town about 15 or 20 minutes from Queenstown. It is known for its gold panning days and you can still try this out yourself!

 The Remarkables! One of the many awesome mountains in the area! There is also Coronet Peak and Cardrona which are great for snowboarding and skiing too. Just started learning to Snowboard and I love it!

Queenstown has its attractions like the Ice Bar! Fun times were had! For those of you that enjoy bungee jumping and parachuting and things like that, Queenstown is definitely for you because, after all, it is the adventure capital of New Zealand! But for those of you who aren't quite into those adrenaline rushes you have so many amazing restaurants, cafe, lakes, shops, wineries and other fun activities all around :)

Hope you will have the opportunity to visit Queenstown one day it's definitely a lovely experience and a great adventure!

Hope you all have a wonderful week wherever in the world you may be and remember to comment me some questions/ideas you'd like on this blog because then i'll be sure to update it more regularly than  have been.. oopsies ;)

Love always,
