We Love You New Zealand 2020

So you know this country pretty well – you’ve enjoyed its company for some time now and you’re committed, yes? To keep that romance alive, we suggest you add a little spice. This first issue of We Love You New Zealand! is about the spice. We want to get you thinking beyond the obvious travel options. It’s easy to have a great time in this country; there is no shortage of excitement, beauty and inspiration to be found here. But to keep it fresh, to get the most of the here and now needs a bit of something else. A new angle. That’s what this magazine is about – presenting some new angles. We say: find the quirky, take the detours, take your time! In return, you’ll get a load of life-enhancing, eye-opening, heart-warming memories.
