Brooke traveled to the South Island of New Zealand with two friends, and was able to make a road trip loop around the entire island in eight days. A perfect adventure for active travelers, New Zealand is wonderful for kayaking, hiking, trail running, and so much more. A diverse landscape, the South Island features glaciers, lush forests, waterfalls, and deserts—Brooke and her friends were able to visit Christchurch, Queenstown, Franz Josef Glacier, and Fox Glacier along their way.
