In A Nutshell:…read more -Queenstown, wow such a hidden gem. -If you've ever been to Lake Tahoe, Yosemite & Colorado Springs, imagine all those places merged into one. -Queenstown has the blue lakes, crystal clear rivers, sky-high/snow capped mountains & wineries. -If you are the millenial-outdoor-hippie-wanna-be-type then this place should be on your bucket list. -Tons of outdoor sports galore, this is your ultimate playground. -There's even a casino in town. Overall, I would visit this place again once later in life, but I recommend that you visit soon if you haven't been to Southland, NZ.

If I were to choose any place to live in New Zealand...it'd be Queenstown, but I'm only really familiar with Auckland, Te Anau, Rotoura, and Queenstown. The lake view is almost visible from anywhere in Queenstown. The mountains are amazing, the food is amazing, and you're living with some of the nicest people on the planet. The adventure capitol of the world has everything from hikes, outlooks, bungee jumping, river speed boating, to mountain biking. Spend some quality time here and enjoy this wonderful city. You definitely won't regret it!

Everywhere is clean and there are many alleyways and shortcuts that takes you to discover new places. It's definitely touristy, and a little pricey. Though, if you need some normal groceries and water, I highly recommend 4 Squares Supermarket. We also went to Fergburger, Flame Bar & Grill, Aotea Gifts, took the TSS Earnslaw, and Erik's Fish and Chips. Overall, a nice place to roam around, especially with the beautiful Lake Wakatipu as a background. There are excellent restaurants and stores to eat and get souvenirs.

Big-time souvenir shops if you're an out-of-towner. I had pizza at three different stops and "Winnies" is easily the best one. Walk to the end and behold the sunset view of the docks. You get those pink-violet colors at the right time of year, which might be anytime of year it's not raining. #newzealand
