We'll cross Aucklands Harbour Bridge admiring the 'City of Sails' harbour before starting our journey north to Paihia.We'll waste no time exploring what this country is famed for - unfathomable nature. Ancient Kauri trees that stand up to 50 metres high and hold over ...
Whether it's parasailing or a fast boat ride - today's (idyllic) list of optionals reads like a who's who of adventure. This area is filled with natural beauty and is sure to inspire your inner wild child. Make the most of the ME Time experiences on offer - tomorrow we head back to the big city vibes.
This morning we'll tuck into breakfast supplied by the Eat My Lunch - every meal purchases a lunch which is delivered to schools for kids in need.Then, feeling full, salty and sun-kissed we wave goodbye to Paihia & sashay our way back down NZ in the direction of Auckland. We'll say sad goodbyes, but there are always more adventures around the corner.
Laters Auckland! Today we drive through the lush farmlands of Waikato, an area that produces many of New Zealand's best Rugby players for the All Blacks, on route to Hobbiton Village. That's right, it wouldn't be a complete experience without a stop at the "Shire".Whe...
The day is yours to roam free in this geothermal paradise. Soak in a hot spring, go white water rafting or hike up a volcano. The options are limitless and the decisions are yours. If you're travelling after October 2020, we recommend the Rotorua Dawn Canopy Tour, exc...
Just as we were acclimatising to that funky smell, it's time to leave Rotorua, taking one last look at the bubbling geothermic mud pools before we flee. Arriving into Auckland marks the time to say goodbye to the wolf pack (sob). NZ - you've been real.

Who We Are
Enthusiastic. Young. Obsessed with finding the best holidays and adventures in the world. We are adventurers, while traveling or while working. We pursue bold lines of action, take the path less travelled and work hard. But most importantly, we have fun.
We believe that travel makes the world a better place. As Mark Twain said in Innocents Abroad,
"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one’s lifetime."
(For an excellent illustration of this post, check out Zenpencils.)
We believe that people should have the best possible experiences to choose from, and not be stuck with the same choices for their vacations. This time spent is a chance to grow, meet different people, and have incredible experiences.
What's with the Name?
Have you ever felt like an alien in your own planet? Like the whole world is yours, yet you haven't explored it? Have you viewed the world from the top of Everest, or experienced the sedentary life underwater, where everything from your eyesight to weight is unfamiliar. If you haven't yet, then that's what we want you to see, feel and experience. We believe that it is our responsibility to experience life to the fullest and have many new experiences. Unless we do that, we are still, unfamiliar with our world. Aliens in our own Planet.
"Throw off the shackles and throw on a backpack!"
