“New Zealand is without a doubt the most jaw-droppingly beautiful country I have ever visited. From its rugged coastlines to its snow-capped mountains,” writes Conway.

  1. New Zealand is diverse.

New Zealand is home to “glaciers, volcanoes, geysers, geothermal pools, white sand beaches, caves illuminated by glow worms, waterfalls, mountains and much more. And because New Zealand is relatively small you can experience these in a short amount of time.

“New Zealand is home to some of the most beautiful places” she’s ever visited, writes Conway.
