New Zealand is a geographically isolated island nation in the southern Pacific Ocean. It consists of a north island, a south island, and numerous smaller islands. The nearest major landmasses are in the west with the Australian continent (the west coasts of the two main islands of New Zealand are between 1530 km and about 2100 km from the east coasts of Australia and Tasmania), in the north with the French island of New Caledonia and the island states of Tonga and Fiji, and in the south with the continent of Antarctica. Neither geographically nor culturally can New Zealand be assigned to a specific major region: The country lies partly on the Australian plate and partly on the Pacific plate and is connected both with the European-influenced cultural area of Australia and with the Polynesian part of Oceania. New Zealand is a kingdom in the Commonwealth of Nations with a democratic parliamentary constitution. New Zealand’s political system is based on a parliamentary monarchy modeled on the British Westminster system. Unusually for an industrialized country, the main economic sectors are agriculture and forestry, the food industry (mainly dairy products), and tourism. New Zealand is known as the „green island,“ thanks in part to its sparse population and natural diversity. This, along with the unique vegetation, is also due to the relatively isolated location of the islands.

Locomotion and accommodation
Platzhalter
The journey on the spot is very cheap by bus.
Who does not want to deal with it because it can be quite uncomfortable in the summer to ride in a crowded bus, which can also move very cheap with the app „Bolt“ in the country.
The advantage is that here no negotiations or misunderstandings with locals arise.
To be able to use the app or the Internet on site, I recommend buying a sim card directly at the airport. There, depending on the exchange rate, you pay about 3-4 dollars for a week of Internet.
Who wants to Tbilisi or Batumi should also keep flights to Kuataisi in mind because there Wizz Air often offers very cheap flights.
Who is then still looking for accommodation I should look around on the platform AirBnb where there are very good offers depending on the season.
Important a European standard does not exist here, roads, houses are often in need of renovation. Also power outages can meet one this but more outside the cities.
Who just wants to go skiing or a hot summer with varied nature should look at the country where the wine was invented a little closer. At least the locals claim that you are the inventor of wine. And not to forget, to the excellent wine belongs an excellent cuisine and also master the Georgiea.
