I am leaving for a solo trip to New Zealand for one year on a work/holiday visa, advice please
I fly into Auckland, New Zealand on August 28th this year. I plan to bring one 70L pack and one day pack on the plane with me. My plan at the moment is to stay in a hostel for a week or so while I can set up a a bank account and look for camper vans. I want to purchase a self sustained camper van and travel all over the country. So far it seems like the Hi-Ace is the way to go (any suggestions?). I have about $30k saved up and I have set aside about 10k for my camper van.
This will be my first trip out of the US, my first real experience traveling solo, my first time really adventuring. Since I am flying into Auckland I plan on traveling slowly south through the country over the course of my year here. I plan to work a little in Auckland, Christchurch and Queenstown in order to support extra activities like sky diving and bungee jumping (which I plan to do as much as I can)(Also another first).
I am nervous about traveling alone and what living in a a camper van will actually be like. I am also outrageously excited about it. I have two main goals for my year in New Zealand. First being to hike alllllll over the country and see as many of the gorgeous views as possible. The second is to form better habits and just try to live a more fulfilling life.
What can I expect when I arrive in Auckland? Has anyone else lived in a camper van? What are the absolute MUST DOs in New Zealand?
Thanks a lot friends.
