  • @princesswearshikingboots4479

    Consider flying to Nelson if you don't have great sea-legs, or buy a flexible ferry ticket so you can cherry-pick your crossing. FYI - the Cook Strait is one of the most dangerous stretches of water in the world (due to its tidal anomalies) - in 1968 the interisland Ferry Wahine sunk close to the entrance of Wellington Harbour, with a loss of over 50 lives. Of course things have improved since then - crossings are cancelled if required 😍.

    Watching the videos of you in NZ makes me so emotional. I can’t believe I started crying when you showed Wellington! I miss it so much! To me Wellington is my home even tho I have only lived there 1,5years but it’s too expensive to study there for me and as a Uni student I can’t afford the flight from Germany at the moment... Just miss my friends and the vibes. Days Bay is the best 👌🏻

  • @princesswearshikingboots4479

    Love that you're enjoying the fab kiwi tucker. A heads-up if you have more time in Wellington is to head up to the spectacular Taraura Forest Park (approx. 90 km north of Wellington). Smart move staying in Picton - the crossing can be rough and a car journey afterwards unwelcome. Beware milkshakes, lol!!!

I'm so getting a family one next time to chill out in peace. Though the views of the sounds are always incredible, too beautiful to miss.

    I went to University in Wellington for the last few years and honestly it's crazy seeing you guys cruising round the streets I got so used to calling a second home! I love Wellington and it's awesome culture! Also great to see you heading around the North island as a lot of people write it off a bit and just go to the South island which is great for adventure and nature travel but culture is definitely more prominent throughout the North island! It's also crazy to think that those lush green hills you guys describe are like normal to me, and definitely makes me feel lucky to call this place home! How are you finding driving on the left?

    I have recently found the vagabrothers and love their channel!! I am starting my own travel vlog this summer, and I will 100% be applying her video editing style to my videos with the cuts and talks (minus the drone shots, haha). I am not a master of the edit, but I think that the person is so much more important than that! I would love some support / feedback so please hit subscribe and check it out please. My first video will release next week!

    40% of Auckland (NZ's largest city) is born overseas. Definitely more diverse than Wellington.
