Backpacker Problems in the Form of a Christmas Carol
Christmas is an awesome time to be in New Zealand. You’re never too far from the beach, New Zealand pavlova makes a mouth-watering Christmas desert, and it’s summer! What a novelty! Seriously, check out why New Zealand is the best place to spend Christmas here. And where would you be without your budget travel lifestyle and your fellow backpackers to thank for this wonderful time of the year? Personally, we think you should sing them The Backpacker 12 Days of Christmas to say thank you! (Or you can just say thank you indirectly to your peers by sharing it on Facebook).
Merry Christmas, backpackers!
