Hello everyone
To cut a long story short, i recently split with the girlfriend and once everything is sorted i.e. house sold and all that stuff ! then ive decided to indulge myself and do something "we" always put off - go to New Zealand
I was wondering if anyone has any general advice for travelling round new zealand? im looking at going for around a month in Feb nxt year, possibly travelling over to Oz to as my sister will be living there at the time.
Ive been looking into the "magic bus" and this seems a good option for hostels and travel as i can do everything in my own time, and the prices seem fairly reasonable. has anyone used their packages? or know of any better ones?
Suppose the other thing i should mention really is that although ive stayed in hostels etc on lads holidays and stag weekends, this will be the 1st time ive actually looked at going away on my own and moved around different places in that country. Ive not owned a backpack since i was about 12 !
Im pretty shy and usually find it difficult to just strike up conversation with a stranger, so im kind of hoping doing this solo trip is what i need to change the way i am. Am i being realistic there? has anyone else found the same thing?
Im sure ill be back with hundreds of questions when i look into all the details but for now, any general advice etc is much appreciated
Cheers
