So Long, New Zealand

We're starting our adventure in Australia, but first, we wanted to share a few of the things we've loved most about New Zealand. And after the incredible response to our farewell post from South America, we'll try to showcase the friendliness, pristine natural beauty, and utterly magical feel of this wonderful place in the best way we know.

Here are the furry and feathered friends we'll miss the most:
