I am a 23 year old female from the US. Graduated from college in 2011, then backpacked for 6 months. Found a job shortly after in NYC and have been here for about a year. After a great year in the big city, I am ready for round 2 of traveling!! Hope to begin in the start of 2014. I would like to find work and travel for 6-12 months. I have some backpacking experience under my belt and would like to see some new places. Interested in: India, South Africa, Madagascar, Egypt, Croatia, Turkey, Greece, maybe SE Asia again...open to anything really!!
divya Hi Maxime! Great to hear from you, it would be great to try and plan. So, my dates are somewhat set as I have a flight out of Auckland --> US on Feb 1. I fly in to Queenstown on Jan 25th, and would love to start the roadtrip Jan 26th afternoon or early Jan 27th. If you are interested, we can talk actual destinations. High level, I would love to see Milford Sound, Franz Joseph / do a glacier hike.
I looked in to renting a car, and for two people it is not too expensive (I put a link with a rough quote at the end of the email. For all wheel drive automatic, ~88NZD / day). I have had many friends do the South Island and they highly recommend driving as you have much more control on what you want to see, where you want to stop etc. Also, I did the North Island via car and I do think it is the best way to go. :)
Excited you are going to Fiji! Loved loved it there, I can share my few thoughts. I am now in Vanuatu for the next two weeks. Look forward to hearing from you! And let me know if you want to talk via email, I find the globetrooper message system a little messy. :)
Cheers,
Divya
