New Zealand Winter
DIRECTOR'S NOTES:
What’s up everyone!
My name is Ben Mikha, a filmmaker and photographer from New Zealand who has been working for Beautiful Destinations over the last year. A lot of you will be heading into summer in the coming months but down here in New Zealand we are about to enter winter. A season I once struggled with until I took a trip around my home which changed everything. I fell in love with everything winter has to offer, the snow, the mountains, the frozen lakes, and my personal favorite, the night sky!
I wanted to share these moments with you at a time when our planet is faced with a global crisis to remind you of how beautiful our home is. Even though times may be tough as we’re presented with a lot of uncertainty, I believe cultivating a positive mindset is what will help us all bounce back better than ever. With travel being out for a little while, I wanted to take you on a virtual tour across my home, a place where I find peace and solitude amongst nature. Most of all though, I hope this inspires you to see more of your backyard, whether a city or a national park, there’s always beauty to be found. Step out of your comfort zone, try something new, and invite new experiences. For me this was journeying into the mountains during the peak of winter which lead me to a newfound love for summers cooler sibling.
Thanks for hanging out!

You made one of the best travel videos I've ever seen. It's just perfect. Especially the harmony between sound and visuals... amazing. For real, unbelievable. It's like you translated the music into visuals. Just stunning. Btw: Are you still a flight attendent?

Hey buddy, if you ever get a chance I think it would be great to see a snippet of your filming and editing process, your technique is really something one day I would love to sit down and have a go at myself. Keep it coming

I'm creating videos for my channel. There will be a new video on Friday.
Nice to see Mother Nature vibrating with Energy! Best time to see water cascading down the side of the mountain is in winter. Thanks for sharing. NZ.👍🇳🇿
I have been researching NZ for a few weeks ago; cannot wait for the world to open up and visit NZ. The mountains and the scenery are unreal.
I only travel and do stuff in the winter, i love the cold and less people travel during the winter so many places are less crowded. Winter is the best time to travel
