Oh New Zealand! That's definitely on my list, too :-)
Thanks for the invitation, that's sweet! Currently I'm super busy in real life (working), so I can't escape. But I've already booked my two next trips: Switzerland in March (for wintersports) and Bali in June (for watersports). Actually I'm looking forward to both, but a bit more to the first one since I badly miss the cold and snow :-) I haven't been to the mountains for 3 years now.
Enjoy your trip and the surf ambient and everything!
Happy happy New Year!!
