The other "land Down Under" is lots smaller than neighbor Australia yet packs in a boggling amount of beauty and adventure in its two main islands and various other smaller ones - along with Maori culture and a touch of urban cosmopolitanism in cities like Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch. And of course let's not forget Hobbiton!

Singing and romancing on cold nights sitting around the fireside, staring on the stars in silent surroundings listening to the sounds of little creatures, basking on the lavish mattress, all that makes you dream to discover what camping in the glorious destinations of the world means.

A Special Invitation to a Public Flogging.
Travel is fun, flogging travel is fun, so let’s have fun.
We are introducing tour flogging experiences so please come and get flogged and stay in one of our many floggee hotels etc available at this tour flogging link where you can get flogged by tour guide floggers.
Take a goodly gander at our flogging tours, flogging accomms and adventure and activity flogs all over this tiny planet. Flogging cruises and safaris also take place and are enjoyed by most floggees at - www.thetoptravelclub.com/special-invitation.
Our members have been flogged and new members will be flogged but as newbies they get 50% off but they do get the full flog not just a half flog.
We offer custom flogging with our Travel Affiliate Program where wannabe floggers will get full ‘no cost’ training for our flogging program and will be shown ‘How to Flog’ and ‘How to Improve Flogging’ by our Flogaffiliate Manager.
We also believe that there are many bloggers who want to be floggers and influencers who may want to influence our flogging techniques but are too shy to go public as yet but to cure their shyness they can find out more from our Flogaffiliate link.
Apologies if this flogration was too much of a flog to get through.

If you're a media rep for any luxury boutique hotels in Asia and/or Oceania, take a look at this writer's post:

Dear New Zealand PR executive and/or luxury hotelier,
My wife and I are travelling around the world on a 500-day honeymoon. In each region we pick one luxury boutique hotel to partner with exclusively for said region. We post two articles per resort on Honeymoons.com as well as numerous social media posts across Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Foursquare, Instagram, YouTube, etc..and most importantly each partner becomes the exclusive resort in their respective region on Honeymoons.com - If anyone in this group represents a luxury hotelier/resort in New Zealand, we would love to talk more. Please drop us a line (MikeAnne@HoneyTrek.com) and we can answer any questions and forward over our formal proposal for your review.
Sincerely,
Mike & Anne
Thanks, Koru. Putting it on my list.
Volunteering is a great way of making new friends, come close to birdlife and to keep fit, Have done volunteering in a number of occasions i.e. Project Jonah, volunteer planting days etc. Check out various volunteer websites, it's great. Up here in Auckland you can volunteer and see kiwis on the conservation projects on Motuihe and Tiri Tiri Matangi.
Volunteering at Zealandia nature sanctuary today. Lots of oddball birds here; hope to see some baby kiwis. Have you done this sort of thing? http://bit.ly/vOjfi5
I played rugby Ed so it's funny to see these great ruggers in this video. Watched it three times and laughed.
Koru, I couldn't get your link to work, but I know the videos you mean, and you're right: They're a hoot. For example....
the whole NZ excitement I reckon already starts on board Air New Zealand, check out their youtube footage of safety videos, unique and abolutely so Kiwi :-) " target="_blank"><iframe width="456" height="342" src="http:... (although Rugby World Cup is over now they will change it again, can't wait)
