My partner jade and I needed to get away and make our first overseas trip since the world shut down, somewhere warm. We had just come out of our winter season in New Zealand and still had snow on the hills, it very much meant our skin hadn’t seen much sun and we were as white as snow.

The immense culture, insane powder for skiing, stunning architecture, cherry blossom, history, there's a lot to it. Japan’s always been on my list to properly
Every time Jess comes over to New Zealand it’s always fun taking Jess on adventures around Queenstown. Showing her some of my favourite spots growing up, from hidden lakes and hikes. Best of all seeing her begin to call Queenstown home.
