New Zealand

I’m adventurous and when it comes to travel, always ready with a backpack. In 2017, I visited New Zealand. One of the best things about New Zealand is that because it is such a small country, it’s so easy to get into the food and wine culture. It provides the perfect excuse to eat your way across the country. These are the must try foods to create the perfect New Zealand tasting list. These all can be enjoyed at different places.
