Kia ora!
We spent almost nine months of 2020 in New Zealand paradise.
(Our plan was to stay four months. Then 2020 happened.)
Seven of those nine months were spent traveling around New Zealand in our campervan called Big D. The other two months were spent in lockdown contemplating our dumb luck for being in the right place at the right time. We are forever grateful to our new whanau and the entire team of five million residing in Aotearoa.
Read on for an overview of our New Zealand itinerary and highlights of our travelogue.

Itinerary: Map View
Our New Zealand Map was created as a planning tool for our travels. The map highlights various points of interest including all National Parks, DOC campsites, Great Walks, International Dark Sky Places, iSites, and more. It has a description and/or link associated with many points.
Visualizing the location of these points of interest assisted us in deciding upon a rough itinerary and route. We initially updated the Itinerary layer in real-time as we traveled but eventually stopped as we extended our stay in New Zealand multiple times and traveled in a few circles as a result. Oh, how I wish we were still traveling in those circles!
