Travelling in a camper van for 10 days has some of its benefits. One of the benefits are being able to pull up and spend as much time as you want wherever you want. This shot was taken in NZ at Tunnel Beach.

travelers stories about Hill in Lindis Pass, New Zealand

Hill in Lindis Pass, New Zealand

  117 km from Oamaru


Driving through the Lindis Pass in New Zealand is a real treat. The hills are so beautiful,golden and tussock covered and uninhabited, with gorgeous effects of sun and weather. It’s not always easy to find a safe spot to stop for the angle you want to shoot. On this occasion there was a delay for roadworks, allowing a few seconds to grab a shot.

travelers stories about Road trip in Mount Cook, New Zealand

Road trip in Mount Cook, New Zealand

  147 km from Oamaru


I’ve spent the last 10 months in New Zealand and believe me, the South Island is one of the most craziest thing you will ever see. As we were driving to Mt. Cook (highest summit in NZ) we had to drive along this more than scenic road. First you’ll drive by Lake Pukaki and his blue water coming from the glacier, then every turn, every inch of this road will make you stop and enjoy life as it is. Please, go to New Zealand, you won’t regret it.

travelers stories about Hill in Roys Peak, New Zealand

Hill in Roys Peak, New Zealand

  158 km from Oamaru


This climb to Roy’s Peak seemed like a great idea when I read the description on New Zealand’s Department of Conservation’s website. “Easy Walk”, they said. After a painstaking 3-hour climb, my feet were practically bleeding and I was quite dehydrated. The only thing I wanted to do was run back down to go back to my hotel—but not before taking some shots of the exquisite view.

Summit in Roys Peak, New Zealand

  158 km from Oamaru


Began my hike up Mt. Roy at 5.40am at temperatures of -2 degrees celsius. The terrain was easy to walk on and the exposed trek gave me full-view of the night sky - I caught five shooting stars in the short 2.5hr hike! The view atop was well-worth the effort and the cold!
