Queenstown

Me and my friend went on a trip around Oceania and Asia two years ago. We had planned from the beginning to go to Australia, but did not really think about New Zealand. Then, we literally decided last minute that we wanted to explore New Zealand too. New Zealand is one of the coolest places I’ve ever visited. The nature on the two islands differ a lot from each other and are completely breathtaking. My friend and I fell in love with Queenstown, located on the southern island, partly because of the nature, but also the very special feeling we got from just being in this beautiful town. The town has a lot to offer. It’s quite small, but you can do everything from hiking and skiing the year round to bungee jumping and going on the world’s biggest swing. Also, the famous Lake Wakatipu is located only five miles from Queenstown with a breathtaking view of the beautiful blue lake and the snow-covered mountains. Another thing that we loved about Queenstown is that it is very intimate. If you go to a bar or a restaurant one day to meet new people, there is a chance that you will meet the same people once again because of the size of the town. I believe that this is very charming. I highly recommend everyone to go to this cute little town, especially if you are an adventurous soul just like me.
