New Zealand is one of the most naturally beautiful countries in the world! We start this trip by visiting Auckland, the main and largest city. In this first video, in essence, we walked around our hotel in the Central Business District. We went directly to the waterfront to see the Wynyard Quarter, the Harbour Bridge, and Viaduct Harbour, then we headed straight up to the tallest structure in New Zealand (and former tallest in the Southern Hemisphere), the Sky Tower. All places offer outstanding views! You can combine the Sky Tower ticket with other attractions, and we chose the All Blacks Experience. New Zealand is famous for its National Rugby Team, and as there were no games we could attend, this was the closest we could find. I wish we could have shown the real experience when they play the haka in front of you... You get bumps all over! Unfortunately, video is not allowed. We closed the day at Elliott Stables, a nice area full of restaurants. They offer several eating options with international cuisine, and it was great to escape the rain! There are more videos in Auckland and New Zealand coming up, so stay tuned. *** HOW DO WE AFFORD TO TRAVEL???

I am a Brazilian-American journalist living in Florida. After traveling the world working with sports, news, and events for over 15 years, I realized that what I really love is the travel part of it all. So I exchanged life in the newsrooms and stadiums for the daily challenge of being an independent content producer. I created this channel to share the beauties of the world... stuff that, for so long, I only kept to myself. Also to help people planning similar trips and to inspire more people to venture out and enjoy life! P.S.: The funny guy who appears in the vlogs is my husband, Gordon. He is Canadian-American, and he's actually camera-shy. That's why he's behind the camera most of the time 😉 --- NEW VIDEO ►►► https://goo.gl/rhM6Pw ---
