There is no surprise why Queenstown, New Zealand is considered the adventure capital of the world. From bungee jumping, to skydiving, base jumping, white water rafting, and so much more; New Zealand holds the number one spot in my book for the most extraordinary international landscapes that I have ever seen. I still remember driving through the south island of New Zealand and looking straight up at massive mountains that reflected back as a mirror in all of the lakes we drove by.

During my trip to New Zealand, I was able to participate in an array of activities that left me on an adrenaline high such as bungee jumping, jet boating, and white water rafting. While I also was able to enjoy the landscapes hiking glaciers and shopping through the streets of Queenstown. One of the coolest parts of my trip was living a day in the life of a New Zealander on a local family’s sheep farm and eating a home cooked meal from them!

I already can not wait to go back to New Zealand to capture even more of its beauty. Check out some of the pictures below from my trip in the Spring of 2017!
