Final Thoughts on New Zealand

Home : Travel : New Zealand : One Article

• Of the hundreds of tourists I met, none of them wanted to go home no matter how long they'd been in NZ. I've been all over Europe, the Caribbean, Israel and Egypt and never failed to find a healthy percentage of people who were looking forward to going back to their homes. Germans were actually physically ill at the thought of going back. I personally had never gone away for more than three weeks, even to really nice countries like Italy without feeling a little homesick. I could easily have stayed two more months in NZ.

• NZ is only 12 hours from LA, is probably the nicest country in the world for a tourist, and you can live there very happily for US$20/day per person.

• go, go, go.
