[@NZPocketGuide]

Awesome! How exciting, you're gonna love it here. And thanks for the kind words, Stephanie :D Are your planning on staying for 12 months?

[@stephaniehywel4961]

BackpackerGuide.NZ 12 months for now but I have the option to extend if I run out of time to complete all the things on your list! The information on entering the country in particular has been a big help as I was a bit nervous I’d miss something out!

[@sugiantosutrisno1779]

Really like all the videos, it give good guidance as a first time traveller to NZ. Spent amazing 10 days road trip started from Auckland - Hobbiton - Wellington - Franz Josef - Lake Tekapo - Queenstown - Milford Sound - Te Anau.

[@NZPocketGuide]

Aw thanks!!!! Wow it looks like you had a really busy 10 days haha! Will you come back and do more?

[@seeklifetravelv-log4855]

[@NZPocketGuide]

Aw thanks for the kind words! Are you planning your own trip to NZ?

[@seeklifetravelv-log4855]

[@NZPocketGuide]

[@NZPocketGuide]

Thanks Jaryd! We have a lot more videos on the channel to help you :) Have you watch any other?

[@JarydAbela]

[@NZPocketGuide]

joel george Don't worry, Joel, we will never stop! We are super passionate about NZ as you can see and have spent the last 3 years dedicating our lives to producing content for our Backpackerguide.nz website. Thanks for your motivating words :) we really hope your dream to come to NZ will come true soon!

[@JJs_r.c]

Thank you for the helpful tips

[@NZPocketGuide]

No worries, when are you planning to visit New Zealand?

[@taiiv7947]

Thanks for your channel guys, I'm in the midst of planning my own work holiday and this is really helping me out.

[@NZPocketGuide]

Hey, no worries, Tai! We're super glad you're finding our vids useful. I'm sure you've stumbled on it already, but just in case have you seen our Working Holiday video -> kzbin.info/www/bejne/sImZoGltibxgna8

[@sugiantosutrisno1779]

Sure, will return for east coast journey in south island.

[@NZPocketGuide]

Nice! Kaikoura is one of our favourite spots on the east coast :) How about the east coast of the North Island? We're actually releasing a video everyday about the Gisborne region at the moment. kzbin.info/aero/PLMXAQO8x57iWBtHNqxT8tVRxjGyKP739d

[@mariadianadanci8214]

I love this. I've seen the video of you surfing at Raglan and was meaning to watch some others but then this came up on my feed so I had to click :D NZ has recently become a priority on my bucket list although I'll have to save for a couple of years before traveling there Haha! Perhaps having a gap year of my own :D

[@NZPocketGuide]

We couldn't recommend a gap year enough! A working holiday is the best way to do it if you are tight on funds. It's how we both were able to come to NZ in the first place :) Here's more info in our video anyway: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sImZoGltibxgna8 ;)

[@mariadianadanci8214]

BackpackerGuide.NZ Great! :D Will definitely check it out. Keep up the good work!

[@iam_nick]

Heading to NZ for a few weeks . Great advice . Thanks Guys

[@NZPocketGuide]

Thanks Anne, There is so much to do in NZ, planning is essential!

[@hollerusc]

We are RVing from Auckland to Christchurch with 5 kids...hoping to see Waitomo, Hobbittown, Rotorua/Waiotapu, Lake Taupo/Huka Falls, Ferry to Frans Joseph/ Mt Cook/Hooker Valley/ Lake Tekapo, Queenstown Wanaka/luge, Milford Sound (boat tour), Lake Tekapo, Christchurch. You think we can swing it? We have 9 days.

[@NZPocketGuide]

WOW! it looks like you guys are going to be super busy! But yeah it should work, maybe just do Hobbiton as a stop over between Waitomo and Rotorua so you save yourself a day.

[@flowdancefitnessmotuekawit6757]

Hope you have plenty of $$$ then😊

[@magda1988g]

how much money would you recommend to start with for working holiday to experience the most of nz?

[@NZPocketGuide]

It really depend what you have on your ToDo list. Usually we recommend having NZ$5500+return flight and insurance. Check out this video about the cost of backpacking in NZ where we go more in depth into it -> kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5DNhq2inJudkNU

[@SailingAquarius]

OMG YOU TWO ARE AWESOME!!!!! I love your videos. We are going to be in New Zealand for 4 to 5 months from November to March or April. If there was any way to collaborate with a channel, I would like to collaborate with you guys!!! You should be one of the top channels on New Zealand!!!!

[@NZPocketGuide]

Awwwww... Thanks guys! It feels so great to get some feedback like that :) Feel free to give a few of our videos a cheeky share, like, and all that stuff, maybe with your help we can help even more travellers.
