On Valentine's Day I will tell you about my new love πŸ’–πŸ˜‰ As you know, I currently traveling with my husband and one year old daughter around New Zealand. Yesterday we arrived by ferry from the South Island to North.

I would like to show you what I love the South Island of New Zealand for:

NATURE

View of Lake Wakatipu in QeenstownΒ 

Sequoia in Garden Queenstown

Fruits sculpture in Cromwell

Landscape of the south of New ZealandΒ 

Amazing water color in the river

Stop on the way through the Southern Island

Forest near Milford SoundsΒ 

HEALTHY FOOD AND SNACKS
Supermarkets, markets and restaurants have a large offer of healthy, vegan, gluten-free or sugar - free products and meals.

My favorite kumara chips. Just kumara (sweet potato) and sea salt or spices

Smoothie: berries, banana, apple juice, almond milk and coconut water

Amazing healthy sweets: snack balls from Tom & Lukeβ„’and Franz Josef Glacier Β in the background

Salted caramel: dates, cashew nuts, pea protein, desiccates coconut, rasins, natural caramel flavour, sea salt.

Lemon and coconut: dates, cashew nuts, pea protein, desiccates coconut, lemon zest, concentrated lomon juice, sea salt.

Cacao, mint & almond: dates, almond, desiccates coconut, cacao powder, rasins, mint oil.

Gold Milk 😍 Ingredients: Filtered water, organic coconut milk, organic brown rice, organic coconut oil, organic turmeric, sea salt, organic ginger, organic black pepper, organic cinnamon

Vegan greek style cheese and salads: tomato, avocado, cucumber, onion, capsicium

Chana Masala with rice and garlic naan

Healthy lunch in Queenstown: quinoa, kumara (sweet potato), kale, ginger, coconut cream, garlic, curry powder, cabbage, carrot, himalayan salt, black pepper, olive oil, tomato, lemon juice, smoked paprika, onion

Bless you!

Wow. Happy Valentines day to you! Great post about New Zealand. This is one country I've always wanted to visit but did now as I new how expensive it can be to travel there. With support I get on steemit, I think it is now affordable. So thank you for bringing this place back to the forefront of my mind. How long are traveling for in New Zealand? Do you know where you will be going next?

Wonderful I've heard tons of great things abt new Zealand... And now I see it... Good standing and prober clean health food... The scenery are amazing... I bet you guys had a wonderful valentines day together... You er fortunate... And well deserved sister... Enjoy your adventures with you family it'd all who will ever maters βœŒοΈπŸ™

New Zealand looks absolutely beautiful! :)

wow so beautiful

Thank you 😊

Hi Monika,
Happy to see you enjoy yourself in New Zealand! The nature and landscape photos are really breathtaking! And the food seems to be equally delicious and healthy.
Have fun!
Cu,
Chris aka smallstepschange

Ale tam pięknie! Jestem zaskoczona pogodą na zdjęciach, Nowa Zelandia zawsze kojarzy mi się z zimnem... No i świetnie, że jest dostępnych dużo opcji wegańskich w sklepach - chyba muszę rozważyć to jako miejsce na kolejne wakacje:) Tylko bardzo boję się złej pogody...

Najlepsze miesiΔ…ce do podrΓ³ΕΌy do Nowej Zelandii to styczeΕ„, luty i marzec, wtedy jest tu lato :) Pogoda jest rΓ³ΕΌna w zaleΕΌnoΕ›ci od regionu, np. wyspa poΕ‚udniowa jest chΕ‚odniejsza niΕΌ pΓ³Ε‚nocna. Obecnie jestem w Taurandze i jest bardzo gorΔ…co, jak dla mnie za gorΔ…co, klima chodzi w mieszkaniu caΕ‚y czas ;))

No tak, zapomniałam o tym, że jak u nas zima to tam jest lato:) To tylko pozazdrościć;)! Miłego pobytu!

Hermoso. Gracias por mostrar tu experiencia por medio de esta nota.

Gracias!!!

I am swooning over this post! Welcome to Aotearoa. I love this country 😍

Glad you liked the South Island, if you can, visit the Rotorua area, for the geysers, hot mud pools etc.
Enjoy the trip

I think I falling love with New Zealand too......it could actually be called Zen Land, because it seems so pure fresh and peaceful.

I really enjoy looking at your photos, reading about your adventure and the amazing vegan food. Everything looks super yummy.

I wish you and your family all the best on your travels and I look forward to your next post.

PS: Your daughter is adorable little angel πŸŒΈπŸ’–πŸŒΈ

Me and my family moved to New Zealand pure on intuition, Now we are here we know this feeling was right. Nice post, can't wait to see the South island.

What a wonderful trip, we are also going there in less than 2 weeks! how's the weather like right now? I see many delicious food. I will try some of ur recommendation..

The weather is great, but the north island is warmer than the south.
Which island are you going to?
I especially recommend Tom & Luke healthy raw sweeties and kumara chips :)

What a great article!! Love seeing al the pictures and following your travel journey :) Have a Wonderfull weekend all the way from Amsterdam!

Isn't it an amazing country :) Where on the North Island are you planning to go?? I'm based here, in Hamilton...

These pictures are awesome and the food is making me hunger. One of my dreams is to get one way tickets to New Zealand.
