KiwiSteve calls it GodZone. He should know as he is a Kiwi. That is probably the best description I have heard. According to a Chilean legend, when God created the Earth he had a little bit of everything left over (mountains, streams, snow, desert, green hills, and beaches) and he sprinkled it along the coast to create Chile. NZ is a bit like that.
What I am trying to say is: go there. Now. If you like to ski, surf, kitesurf, windsurf, ride, swim, kayak, sail, run, blade , juggle, play with yoyos then you need to go. Call Air New Zealand today and book a flight. If you can walk you should go. Go now.
