Hey, my name is Morgan Guérault. I'm a french backpacker and I just came back from my first solo trip in New Zealand with a working holiday visa and a Sony A6000 camera in my backpack.
I traveled and worked in different places in New Zealand. I have met amazing people along the way and discovered unique landscapes that blew my mind. These are the 38 pictures that represent a unique moment to me, and I hope you’ll find some inspiration in them.

Moke is an old word for donkey, apparently named for the first donkey to encounter it? (I'm kiwi but had to look that up XD)

Great photos! Thanks for sharing. No wonder so many people in other countries want to move to New Zealand.
My wife is originally from New Zealand, and moved to the US when she was eight. I'd willing give up my life to get her back there.
Please don't say that. Here's hoping you both get to return there.

Ah, come on. Was that negative political remark necessary?

I know they are carefully selected locations... but still this country looks too much like a paradise 😍
I mean, it's not THAT selective of locations. I'm a NZ'er and spent a few years travelling the country in a motorhome so have been to most of these places and a lot of them are really common spots to visit. Looks like they spent most their time in the South Island though, which is a pretty spread-out region and a huge section of the upper South Island is a national park (hence being very scenic and not residential). The North Island is where most of our population lives but definitely has scenic spots (Cape Reinga, Cathedral Cove/Coromandel, Mount Maunganui). If you ever plan a visit here, ask the locals first for the best places to visit!

I was planning on visiting New Zealand this year ... Thanks covid-19! ...
After the whole Sauron thing, they decided to move to Florida. BIG mistake.
