There is honestly nothing quite like the feel of the wind in your hair as you bolt across an open space on horseback. For a truly amazing experience, you need just three things - a horse, the ocean and cantering across endless miles of gorgeous wild beach.


Our adventure began at Equathon Noosa, home of the best horse riding adventures in Noosa. Just head to Tewantin and cross the Noosa River aboard the car ferry to find yourself at Noosa North Shore. Only $8 there and back. Quickest car ferry ride I've ever been on!


My cousin and i were living out our saddle club dreams. We loved being on the wide open space to stretch out and we lead our horses into the shallows and went along the tide. Tewantin Beach with its incredible panorama and unspoilt beauty doesn't disappoint.

Queenstown is located in the South Island on Lake Wakatipu, New Zealand. There is so much to see and do in the area, such as explore the beautiful mountain ranges, valleys, lakes. We ended up renting a car for our time in Queenstown as there was so much to see! We booked a car from Snap Rentals because they had the best rates and the KM was limitless!! From the airport to town it is about a 15 minute drive, so once you arrive into town, be sure to drop off your bags and go out and explore.


WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE VISITING Q U E E N S T O W N 

  • The local currency is the New Zealand Dollar. 
  • Fuel is super expensive.
  • Woolworths is called Countdown.
  • You don't need to tip. 
  • Sheep. Lots of sheep.





WHAT   TO  D O   I N   Q U E E N S T O W N 

Hiking - Aoraki National Park - The Hooker Valley Track, The Blue Pools Track etc. 

Skiing - If you visit in the winter time, definitely go to The Remarkable's and Cornet Peak for the best skiing and snowboarding! 

Queenstown to Glenorchy - Do not miss this drive if you are in Queenstown, as it definitely is one of the most beautiful drives in the south island of New Zealand.

Bungy Jumping - if you got the adrenaline rush to do this, there are many to choose from! 

Quad biking & Horse Riding - if your into riding horses or driving a quad bike, than this is the best activity for you especially at Cardrona - Experience the Cardrona. 

Queenstown Skyline Luge - The best activity to start off your trip is going to Queenstown's skyline and going on the luge! 

Town Hopping - There are a few different towns to visit such as Arrowtown or Glenorchy!  

Osen Hot Pools - You must book a spa at the Onsen Hot Pools, it has the best view of Shotover River! 

Jet Boating -  Try out Shooter River Jet or Dart River Jet.  https://www.dartriver.co.nz/





WHERE  TO   S T A Y 

Holiday House: Frankton 984 Frankton Road, is were we stayed. A holiday house, which I must say would have to be the best decision. Who doesn't love a whole house, especially when your sharing with family and it also has the best view of Lake Wakatipu!! 

Azur Lodge: An apartment-style accommodation, great choice for couples.

I loved Queenstown, it is an incredibly beautiful place that i'd love to visit again. It is my new travel destination love. It is the prettiest, most delightful and exciting spot. The snow-capped mountains reminded me of Switzerland and on the ground , the buildings and the whole vibe of Queenstown reminded me of many European towns. Everywhere you turn there is something so spectacular off into the distance it is hard to know where to turn next, and it is for this reason that i felt such peace and so still, patient, happy and relaxed. Queenstown is not only a delight to your taste buds as much as it is to your eyes! I honestly can't wait to go back to the place that has kind of stole my heart.

These were a few photos from our day trip to Disneyland, i enjoyed every moment  ♡

This was one of the happiest days and that is because we decided to spend the day at  Disneyland! When Mitch and i finally made it to Anaheim we were impressed. My excitement levels were high because i knew we were going to love it and we did!

This was our very first time in America, and we loved it! New York is my absolute favourite city that I've ever visited. A city of endless possibilities, high energy, and great diversity, New York City had always been on our bucket list. I knew we would love NYC before we even visited it (thanks to all the TV shows set in NYC. e.g. Power, Suits and Gossip Girl etc.)

America was our last stop of our 2 month trip and we didn't get to see everything we wanted but there's always time to come back and enjoy more of what America has to offer. We arrived in New York then flew to Las Vegas and drove to LA.

New York City totally lived up to our expectations and we left with a heavy heart and lots of good memories. Theres a lot to do in New York and no amount of time is enough to fully experience the city.


I heard mixed reactions about Los Angeles. Some people didn't like the vibe, while others commented on how awful the traffic is. So, i went on the trip with low expectations. And thankfully, i was pleasantly surprised. I loved LA, we visited the West Hollywood side and perhaps it was because of the location: Spent most of our time in West Hollywood and Beverly Hills. It was fun to be in a city full of so many stories from the old classic hollywood. Plus, just the off chance that you could be walking around and see a celebrity strolling by.

Las Vegas, the strip is only about 6 kms long! But theres so much to see in such a small area. Its not all about gambling! A trip to Las Vegas is one of those quintessential American experiences. From the bright lights of the strip to the world-class museums, this little Nevada city is everything you'd expect it to be and so much more.

Cant wait to come back and create more memories in the U S OF A! 🌞✌🏼🌴
