NEW ZEALAND ROAD TRIP: South Island Itinerary

Last year I rented an awesome camper van to explore New Zealand’s South Island with one of my best friends.  We rented our rad van from Escape Rentals and hit the open road together after each living in separate countries for over a year.  There is no better way to see this beautiful country than by car or camper van.  The ability to take a detour from an unplanned route is excitingly unique.  The South Island offers some of the most beautiful views you will find in the world (I know, I know, everyone says that about every breathtaking country… but I mean it!!).
