@@NZPocketGuide In May. I only planned for two weeks. Maybe a bit to short. But it's about fun and relaxation

@NZPocketGuide 5 лет назад

It will give you enough time to get a good taste of what Z is all about ;)

@kanwar886 6 лет назад

Loved your video. I'm an international student here and now I'm considering doing a 7-day North Island road trip. Have a budget of $1500. Don't if that's enough to do a couple of activities.

@NZPocketGuide 6 лет назад

Hey Kanwar - should be enough if you use budget accommodation like hostels, make your own meals, and do some free activities as well. You can get a rough idea of costs in our article: www.backpackerguide.nz/what-is-the-cost-of-backpacking-in-new-zealand/ Hope that helps!

@kanwar886 6 лет назад

Thanks for the reply. I've been visiting your website and I'm absorbing as much info as I can. Really informative and helpful. I'm thinking to buy a camping tent and consume ready-to-eat meals during the trip. That should cut some expense from my budget. Skydiving is priority. And some other activities shouldn't cost must. I think I can manage in $1500, but will have to be very careful. Thanks. :)

@NZPocketGuide 6 лет назад

Sounds like a plan! Feel free to tag us if you take any photos on Instagram with #backpackerguidenz and we'd be happy to share :) Have an awesome trip!

@juanluflores8075 5 лет назад

Hi guys great video! My couple and I are travelling next year to NZ. We are thinking about working there for accommodation and meals but since we are over 30 we cannot get a work visa. Is there any other possibility of volunteering or something like that? Best regards

@NZPocketGuide 5 лет назад

Thanks for the question. As far as we know, you are not able to do this on a tourist/visitor visa.

@robindewaele1659 6 лет назад

talking about buget what is a good weekly buget to have in mind?

@NZPocketGuide 6 лет назад

Hey Robin (Awesome name BTW!) That's a tricky one, everybody travels differently, we get by very well with about $300/week but that's because we love hiking and hostel/holiday parks and some weeks are thousands because well... We also love activities. We have a full article about budgeting for backpacking in NZ right here -> www.backpackerguide.nz/what-is-the-cost-of-backpacking-in-new-zealand/ that should help you a lot. Also if you are looking for the cost of a working holiday in NZ this article is for you -> www.backpackerguide.nz/what-is-the-cost-of-a-working-holiday-in-new-zealand/

@robindewaele1659 6 лет назад

thanks

@mattb8904 6 лет назад

For the 18+ card, can you get it if you don't have a NZ residential address

@NZPocketGuide 6 лет назад

Hey Matt! You will need an address for your ID card but this can be a hostel (like when opening your bank account) Check out more info on how to apply right here -> www.backpackerguide.nz/get-id-card-new-zealand/

There is some error with your website today, trying to open it from different devices, and it gives me a whole page of "undefined variable error" . Would it be fixed soon?

@NZPocketGuide 4 года назад

Thank you so much for reaching out Mariyana. We are working super hard in trying to fix all the little bugs that followed the re-design. It takes a while as there are a lot of small fires to deal with :( If you could send us a screenshot via Facebook that would be super helpful. As per a timeline fro a fox, we improve it every day so maybe 3 days I'd say?
