New Zealand & Australia in 2 months

I travel overseas 2-3 months each year to experience multicultural life.  Most recent 2.5 month AU/NZ/SI/TW (March-May, 2018). My trip highlights include (1) Glow-worm caving on north island NZ; (2) digging and soaking in hot water holes on a beach on north island NZ; (3) took Tongariro Alpine Crossing day hike on north island NZ; (4) touring Lake Wanaka to Queenstown on south island NZ; (5) touring Dunedin & Oamaru on south island NZ; (6) hiking and wild life viewing in Wilsons Promontory National Park, AU; (7) costal walks near Sydney, AU; and (8) 3500km drive to Uluru/Alice’s Rock, AU. See details at https://nz-aujt.blogspot.com/

Why I visited New Zealand and Austrilia? Scenery, scenery, and scenery, also fewer people, a lot of unique animal and plants, although a bit pricey, thin oz layer, and poor internet coverage.
