This is a map of all my favorite spots to explore, eat, and stay in Aotearoa New Zealand after a year and a half of living in the land of the long white cloud with my two kids. Nearly all the pins are child friendly and they are noted if not. I update this periodically as I travel to new places so keep an eye out and enjoy New Zealand's incredible country!
