How to backpack around new zealand by Lisa

"Possibly the best thing I could have hoped to spend three months of my life doing."

How I did it: Filled out an application for a working holiday visa. Received an approval. Started packing up my life, getting rid of my apartment and putting everything else on hold. I bought a ticket and plunged into the unknown.

Lessons & tips: Don't plan anything, let that be part of the adventure. Hitchhike as much as possible. Pack lighter than you think is wise. And never, ever stay at Base or Nomads hostels.
