JOURNEY OF ADVENTURE
On your first visit to New Zealand, you explored adventure destinations, wineries, and scenic valleys and mountains. What did you like the most and why?
It’s difficult to pick just one because every place I visited had me spellbound, but if I had to, I’d pick Milford Sound. From thundering waterfalls to sky high mountains to lush rainforests, Milford has it all. On a rainy day, it is even more picturesque since you can see the mountain slopes covered in hundreds of temporary waterfalls.
How was your experience aboard Air New Zealand? What stayed on from the journey?
I’ve flown on many international airlines and this is by far the most unique business class I’ve ever come across. The seats were wide and comfortable, food and drinks were excellent. The feature that stood out for me was the ability to personalise my dining schedule, along with the option of ordering food and drinks via the in-flight entertainment screen.
You are an avid traveller. How would you rate New Zealand in terms of the adventure options that it offers to globetrotters?
New Zealand truly lives up to its reputation as the adventure capital of the world. From heart-thumping activities like bungee jumping, sky diving, and kayaking to wildlife encounters, there is something for everyone, especially for adventure enthusiasts like me.
