Australia & New Zealand

An island country and an island continent combine to make the land down under one of the world’s most remote destinations – and also one of its most beautiful. Beaches, mountains, and huge expanses of land that make a road tripper’s mouth water, coupled with lively coastal cities, have given Australia and New Zealand a quality of life that other nations can only hope to one day reach. Visitors end up imaging their lives here, locals end up loving their lives here, and your friends – watching your travels back home through social feeds – end up planning their future trips here. Trust us: The long flight is worth it.

Auckland

With roughly 1.5 million people, New Zealand’s largest city isn’t exactly a metropolis, and that’s part of the charm. In Auckland, everything feels accessible and familiar (for a Westerner, at least), but the laid-back flow of the city itself is what feels new. It’s a dynamic that’s tough to articulate – and one that we’d hate to spoil for you by getting too wordy. We suggest you book a trip to see for yourself.

Melbourne

Perhaps it’s the world-renowned coffee scene in Melbourne that keeps this coastal city buzzing with flavorful dining, an ever-evolving arts scene, an enviable collection of rooftop bars, and legendary sporting events. Or maybe it’s just something in the water. There’s never a dull moment in this cultural capital of Australia – and when you think you’re due for a break, the perfect outdoor escape is a stone’s throw from your front door.
