New Zealand - Because You're Worth It

Ok, ok so we credit L'Oreal with the title but New Zealand is just as good for your skin. Well, your soul really. Using the Kiwi's favourite saying it's 'sweet as'.

It feels like Mother Nature expended all her energy in creating New Zealand - particularly the South Island - blessing it with waterfalls and crystal blue lakes, turquoise seas and lush rainforests, thick forests that go on for miles, golden beaches, mysterious networks of caves and blue-white glaciers. It's almost as if she was exhausted after her creation so gave every other country in the world only a token gesture of each and blessed them with history instead.

Samuel Butler in his classic novel Erewhon, summarises New Zealand perfectly - "Never shall I forget the utter loneliness of the prospect only the little far away homestead giving sign of human handiwork, the vastness of mountain and plain, of river and sky; the marvellous atmospheric affects sometimes black mountains against a white sky, and then again, after cold weather, white mountains against black sky."

It is commonly expressed that in New Zealand you can experience four seasons in one day and it's just that unpredictability, teamed with nature at it's most exciting plus the man-made adrenalin-busting activites that make New Zealand, well, incredibly, totally and exhilaratingly, worth it.
