Things To Do In Wanaka Without A Car
Have you heard of Wanaka?

April 2016 Recap: New Zealand & Australia

New Zealand’s Emerald Lakes // FLASHBACK FRIDAY
One of the first things I did on my month-long trip through New Zealand was the Tongariro Crossing. Renowned as the best day hike in the country, it takes you on a 12-mile journey through volcanoes, lakes, and a very Mars-like terrain; past active volcano Mt Tongariro, Mt Ngauruhoe, and – most gorgeous of all – the Emerald Lakes.
