20 photos to make you dream about New Zealand

New Zealand was literally love at first sight. From the moment the plane approached land I knew I was in for something special. A week later I had fallen head over heels. Paradise beaches by the sea, green volcanoes, mountains, fiords, blue lakes, glaciers, glow worm caves, friendly people, endless adrenaline activities – New Zealand had it all!

I spent three weeks exploring this amazingly beautiful country. Here are 20 photos to make you dream about visiting New Zealand yourself.
