I’m in New Zealand!

One of the many shots of Mt. Cook and the Southern Alps that I took from a heli-flight from Franz Josef.

As you may know from my “I’m Going to New Zealand!” post, last week I was chosen as the winner of Wotif.com’s “Wotif You Won a New Zealand Tiki Tour” competition. I honestly still can’t believe it, and I’m already halfway to Christchurch on this Air New Zealand plane (which comes complete with a Richard Simmons in-flight safety video).

This blog will continue to be updated while I am in New Zealand, but the content will not be in relation to my current trip. If you want to follow what I’m doing in my nine-day trek around Canterbury, you can visit:

Wotif Blog (will be updated each morning with my posts from the previous day)
Twitter – @aussiestompy (will be updated as I go, depending on mobile reception)
Twitter – #wotifblog (will be used for all content, like blog entries and my tweets, as well as conversations)
Boots and a Backpack on Facebook (will be updated as I go)

I can’t wait for touchdown in Christchurch so I can start on the amazing itinerary that’s been planned for me! Thanks again to Wotif and Canterbury Tourism for this wonderful opportunity.

About Kristin
I'm Kristin, a Texan born to an American father and English mother. I've been living in Australia since 2008. My first plane flight was when I was three weeks old and I've been hooked ever since. I never feel quite right unless I have a plane ticket (to anywhere, whether it's Sydney or Sweden) booked in my name. You can also find me on Twitter and Facebook.
