Its two main islands are contrastingly unique, with the North Island known for its Maori culture, bustling cities, geothermal regions, and vineyards, while the South Island is famed for its breathtaking fjords, ski fields, and opportunities for adventure sports like bungee jumping. New Zealand’s diverse ecosystem has birthed the adventure capital of the world, earning an esteemed reputation with nature lovers, thrill-seekers, and film enthusiasts alike.

I was travelling solo from Malaysia to Christchurch for a conference.

I met a few friends there and would go around with them. But most of the time I also like to walk alone. Although a few years have passed since the mosque attack, I also feel cautious especially as a Muslim hijabi.

But it was all okay, people were friendly and Christchurch to me looks like a city of rebuilding and relearning, especially after the earthquake.

I was partially sponsored for my accommodation and flight so I wasn't sure of the rate. I stayed at an Airbnb on my last night as it was near the airport, it was a really nice airbnb with super friendly hosts

I walk a lot, the food was okay, but I also tried the Uber and Uber food there.

I visited Queenstosn in December 2023. What an amazing place, the unbelievable nature and in top of that there are tons of activities you can do.
In general, the quality of food is great in New Zealand. 
Queenstown is a very safe town for female solo travelers.
