Living Life Large in Northern New Zealand: A Land of Sheep, Sea, and Seriously Good People!
"Where's your favorite place you've lived?" It's a question I've been asked so many times, in interviews, on the road, at dinner parties, and even once while hiking on the Dragons Back in Hong Kong (true story). And while I've been lucky enough to live in more than ten countries, there's one place that always leaps to mind with a smile and a full heart, New Zealand. The North Island, to be exact. Now, don't get me wrong, I've adored everywhere I've called home. But there's something about New Zealand that gets under your skin in the best possible way. Maybe it's the people. Maybe it's the air. Maybe it's the fact that you can go from serene, sheep-dotted hills to volcanic landscapes and white-sand beaches in the same afternoon. Whatever it is - New Zealand just has it.
