Trip Details

Hey guys,

Due to one of our group not being able to join we are looking for one more person to complete the team.

Lovely Alejandra from Mexico, currently based in Queenstown; Kris, a German world traveler and I (Flo, also German) have rented this beautiful Lucky Rover SC campervan to explore New Zealand.

We're picking up the van on January 7th in Christchurch and finish our trip in Auckland on February 12th. So, basically we'll drive from south to north island. We have only made a loose list of stops so far because we are not in control of the weather 😃 but our activities will include whenever possible outdoor ones including hiking, observing penguins and the odd party here and there. Card games, cooking and conversations will keep us bus during bad weather days. Your input is very much welcome! We also have a 800 page lonely planet travel guide which will help us out where ever we will be. We are also thinking of going to Shipwrecked Festival NZ starting on February 7th 🍾🍻📯🎉

The van is each 31 dollars a day + gas and of course the ferry. Our wish is to share the expenses as fair and transparent as possible so everyone knows what it will cost. Nothing is more annoying than hidden costs and we just want to avoid bad atmosphere.

Alejandra, Kris and Flo
