Why I Jumped Out of a Plane in New Zealand

It’s been almost four year since I jumped out of a plane over New Zealand’s South Island, but it feels like it could’ve been four minutes ago.

It isn’t as simple as getting on the next bus or train and winging it.

While the merits of Queenstown as a travel destination are difficult to deny, it’s not a must-see for every type of traveler.

I wasn’t sure if I would take a Milford Sound tour until a few days before I ended up doing it.

No matter when you end up taking your next Christchurch to Queenstown road trip, I have a feeling you’re thoroughly informed—and inspired—now.

You probably won’t be able to visit New Zealand in 2021.

How could it have taken me so long find stillness in moments like these, when I have so many fewer left than I’ve already lived?
