When the weather permits you to enjoy a world-class beauty
The Routeburn track in the Fiordland national park is so beautiful on a sunny day. My favorite hike so far in #NZ ! #blue
As boring as it sounds, the waves are calling me. It was about 1800, when the gang went to St Clair Beach. As usual, it never fails me
Dunedin is a stunning city in New Zealand. Lucky to call this home (for now) #blue
