Mini Guide to New Zealand

Guilherme Ribeiro | March 7, 2018

Wellington is the capital of New Zealand and the second most populous city (after Auckland). It’s the windiest city in the world, and rumor has it, the city with most coffee shops per capita. Some say it’s where the famous “flat white” was invented.

The city breathes culture and it’s sometimes impressive to see so much variety in such a small space. According to the Mercer Quality of Living Survey, Wellington ranks at 12^th among the most livable cities in the world.

Queenstown

Queenstown is the perfect destination for those in search of the ultimate thrill. It’s considered the capital of extreme sports, and for good reason, one can try bungee jumping, skydiving, paragliding, wakeboarding, and much more.

It’s also one of the main winter destinations. During the colder months, the town gets super busy with skiers and snowboarders climbing mountains such as The Remarkables, Coronet Peak, and Treble Cone to enjoy the powdery snow slopes.
