Insiders to Auckland

DON'T bring any food with you if you really need some you must  declare them. You can buy a phone card in duty-free store before you go to the customs, which is much cheaper than that outside.

Remember to bring sunscreen with SPF50+, hat and sunglasses always with you.

You should also book an accommadation in advance, as it's usually hard to walk in. Airbnb, Booking, and The Rednote are some useful apps.

As to transportation, you can rent a car or just use the public transportation. It's convenient to buy an AT card in any WoolWorth or NewWorld. 

You can go to any beach or park, however, you can have the best photoes on Piha Beach and Long Bay, In my opinion, just avoid visiting Hobson Street or Skytower, they have exaggerated reviews than they deserve.

Please go to Auckland anyway！

Before the age of 45, I never thought about going abroad.

Actually, the first time we came to New Zealand, it was just a trip. I'm not sure if I decided to accompany my daughter to live on the other side of the earth, but now, it's already the third year.

Because of my strong curiosity and experiences, the number of people I've known in New Zealand is over 100.

One of my friends in New Zealand often chats online with me. She likes to hear the stories of my recent experiences, and she suggests that I should write them down.

I really often have some feeling, but they just flash by. So, why not start writing down from now on?

I quit my job two years ago, which many people thought it incredible, because they reckoned I could never find a decent and well-paid job as before.However, they didn't know what kind of anxiety I suffered, which made me unable to work as hard as before. 

My husband suggested I go abroad to have a vacation with my kids. Finally, we decided to go to NewZaland where is safe and famous for its scenery. We travelled around the North Island for three weeks by car. we visited some small towns and tried many local food, which impressed me so much. I liked the picturesque scenery as well as the savory seafood in NewZland. I felt satisfied with this comfortable travel. I hoped we could stay a little longer if there was a chance. Finally, my family agreed that my kid could go to school here while I would continue to enjoy my awesome holiday.
