The things I love the most about it:
1.- The amazing landscapes.
Wherever you look, you see green and blue.
2.- The New Zeland national rugby team.
I've always found them really curious and funny because of the tradition of the Haka, a traditional war dance to intimimdate the enemy and, aparently it works.
3.- The 90 Mile Beach
The 90 Mile Beach is on the western coast of the north of North Island of New Zeland. Also the beach is a highway but you can go subathing, swimming, surfing... And also the beach is next to the Aupouri Forest so there's also a escape from the sun. But the most beautiful thing of this place is that when the sun sets you have the most amazing landscape you've ever seen.
4.- You're never far from the sea.
I couldn't live in a place far away from the sea, so New Zeland is perfect because the furthest away you can get is about 80 miles, but a lake is always near in case you are worried.
It's on the east coast of New Zeland's North Island and it's not a particulary amazing hill but its name is. The translation to English is "the place where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, who slid, climbed and swallowed mountains, known as 'landeater', played his flute to his loved one."
6.- The Aurora Borealis.
It is my favourite thing about this country but you have to struggle to get fa enough south.
The Auroras are electrically charged particles from solar winds that enter the Earth's atmosphere and react with the gases. The colours of the aurora depend to a number of facts: the type of gas molecule, the electrical state at the time of collision, and the type of solar wind particle that the gas collides with.
The problem is that the Southern Light are not very preditable and they occur with 30 minutes of notice. Also if it's a full moon or cloudy night you won't be able to see them.
They happen all year around but the best moments are in winter (March to September) and the best places of New Zeland are the Stewart Island, the Lake Tekapo and the Aoraki Mt Cook National Park, and The Catlines.
