  • I can't believe THIS is New Zealand...
    Thank you GetYourGuide for hosting us on the Milford Sound tour.
    Milford Sound is a breathtaking fiord located in the South Island of New Zealand. Renowned for its dramatic landscapes, cascading waterfalls, and towering mountains, Milford Sound is often referred to as the "Eighth Wonder of the World."
    Surrounded by the Fiordland National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Milford Sound is a haven for nature enthusiasts and adventure seekers. The fiord stretches for 15 kilometers and is flanked by sheer rock walls that rise up to 1,200 meters above sea level. These majestic cliffs create a sense of grandeur and provide a stunning backdrop for the cruise ships that navigate through the tranquil waters.
    So let's pack up the car, and go explore it.

    ➤ ABOUT US: Hi! We’re Nick & Raychel, and we want to help people open their eyes to alternative living, whether that be teaching English online, moving to Cambodia, taking advantage of working holiday visas, or building a DIY stealthy camper van to live & work on the road. Nothing is off limits when adventure is the ultimate goal. After three years of living full time van life throught Canada, Mexico and the USA, we're now car camping our way through New Zealand in a Land Rover Discovery 1.
    Our goal here is to bring you weekly content where we hope to inspire you to break free & live the life you desire. On this channel, we talk everything from finances to minimalism to working online to mindset and post a weekly vlog of our daily lives. We hope you join us on our journey to see the world, save money, live minimally, and most importantly, have fun.
    So if you're looking for a channel about van life, alternative living, and budget travel, you're in the right place.

    Kea are such fun little monsters, they'll slide down snowbanks for funsies, and famously tear the rubber off your car. :)
    I heard a tale from a skier friend of a kea stealing an unguarded glove from the ground, flying it over to the edge of a drop off, and when the owner came to retrieve the glove, picking it up again and dropping the glove off the cliff. :D

    It’s hard to get your head around that, from Queenstown, you drive 5+ hours to Milford Sound and when you get there you’re 76km (in a straight line) from where you started! 😳😂

      Quick story….
      I stopped there with a bus load on tourists who partook of the waters.
      One of them mentioned the water was very cold, and, with the wit entrusted to tour drivers, I said ‘Yes, we have a refrigeration unit up the valley”.
      After a short pause he replied, “Very good!” 😳😂

    New Zealand had a lot of caravan parks, where they were powered and allotted. They were owned by the local council and were in great places. With privatisation and selloffs the situation has really gone down hill. It of course, puts the remainder in higher cost.
    We, that used to do this kind of holiday, thinks the situation sucks. One might as well get a motel?

    Greta video. As for the power bank you can get a really good one from any ironman dealer. Supercheap auto also sell an ok one. Although the ecoflow are easily the best but they are expensive. You could also look at a Makita inverter with a connectx battery pack which can be expensive but are 1400w
