The Trip: NZ, pt. 3

South Island Adventure has been finished, 10 days later. Next, I'm recovering in Christchurch and then flying to Fiji, where two paradise islands await me - very different in nature. Tribewanted's Vorovoro is the main attraction and the apex of my trip, but the extra days I have in the country I decided to go and waste at the Beachcomber Resort island - a full-board backpacker resort island. I'm guessin' it's messin'. Very recently, Guardian featured this reportage, which has raised eyebrows both in and outside the community. Whatever the shortcomings and challenges may be, I'm happy to be there soon.

New Zealand is the most attractive, accessible and rewarding country I've experienced. If I were to make my semi-hemispheric lifestyle a reality, I'd alternate between New Zealand and a Northern European country (Finland, UK, Sweden, that axis - funny, I've found the polar opposite, now I have to find the primary base still...). The skies are frequently breathtaking, be they dressed in clouds, stars, hues of blue or shades of grey; the drama of the sheer mountainfaces, cliffs, gorges, sounds and crevices is transcending at its best. I'll try and verbalize it better with more time soon.
