Short Photo Stories

New Zealand is certainly one of the most beautiful and magical places on earth. It is the youngest country on earth with a lifestyle to match. No surprise that New Zealanders have always been ahead with regards to many things… after all New Zealand is always the very first country to greet each new day!

New Zealand became the first country to give women the right to vote. In fact it is a fairly liberal nation with prostitution, soliciting, and homosexual marriage being legal. The driving age in New Zealand is 15, the consensual sex age is 16, and the drinking age is 18 (though minors accompanied by adults are allowed alcohol in restaurants).

The best way to explore the country is to hire a car and drive. Driving in New Zealand is like never ending scenic tour with all the possible wonders nature has to offer. You will see stunning mountains, glaciers, fiords, waterfalls, lakes, caves, rain forests and amazing coastline with little villages and towns on the way …

People are very friendly and helpful wherever you go and there is no bad season to visit New Zealand.

… one more reason to visit New Zealand: there are no snakes in the country and no nuclear stations!
