you're welcome@@GeorgeSoan

I just came across your video. I'm planning a NZ trip at the moment, so very helpful!! I've got one question though. What company did you rent your sleeping van from? Thanks in advance :)

Hey! Great to hear and thanks for the comment :) We used www.tuicampers.co.nz/ - hope you have an awesome trip! I have a full playlist for New Zealand on my channel if you wanted to check out any other videos for inspiration (we changed campers during our trip)!

Wow - that is a lot of rain!

Just another quick question how much was fuel when you went? We’ve hired the travellers auto barn kuga. How many miles was it for both islands? Sorry for all the questions

No worries! It looks similar to the one we hired and to fill up (about 1/2 to 3/4) of a tank was around $100 NZD. We travelled a lot of KMs across the two islands over a 2 month period, if you are going for a 2 week trip I'd consolidate your list to less places, then put that route into Google to calculate the total KMs

Hi what app did you use for esim?

Hi where going for 2 weeks to do both islands in September how much money do you think we would need for the trip? $$$$

Hey there! The budget will depend on lifestyle, eating out, transport and activities. There are lots of activities to do so I would map out the ones you want to do and tie these into your budget. For 2 weeks I would say roughly 1-2k NZD (this is very subjective depending on the factors stated above)

I’m leaving next week for a month long road trip and have done basically no planning. Do you think this is a dumb idea or is spontaneity an option 😂

@GeorgeSoan

Awesome! It’s definitely an option!!! The only thing to consider would be the ferry between the islands as this can sell out, apart from that you should be there in shoulder season so it shouldn’t be too busy. Hope you have an awesome trip!!!

Thanks for the video. Can you wild camp in New Zealand? Park anywhere and sleep?

@GeorgeSoan

No worries, thanks for watching! I don’t believe you can wild camp anywhere as we saw quite a few signs saying this, however, there are “freedom camps” which are free campgrounds :)
