We drove a total of 1350 miles in seven days. My friends and I stayed in a different place every single night. Every morning, we would pack up our things and drive to another part of New Zealand.
I've traveled about 3000 miles since starting my study abroad semester in Australia. My road trip in New Zealand is the most that I have traveled in a week.
We drove a car, which was difficult at first, because Australia and New Zealand drive on the opposite side of the road from what I am used to. They drive on the left, but in the United States, we drive on the right.
I loved visiting Milford Sound, which is a body of water in between the mountains. There was a large waterfall that we got to go kayaking near.
During our trip, we met so many people who were also traveling in New Zealand. We met people from Switzerland, Sweden, Norway, the U.S. and Australia.
