Most beautiful places in New Zealand
1.Napier
The first and only city on my list, Napier stands out among New Zealand communities. Much of its distinctive character came after a 1931 earthquake leveled the city. The rebuilding effort spurred the local economy out of its depression, and the facades were styled in progress-oriented Art Deco. It's a city that values form and aesthetics, both natural and man-made. Exceptional weather doesn't hurt either.

2.Punakaiki coast
South Island's west coast feels a lot like the edge of the world. The beaches are violent and rocky, and the lush vegetation gives it a primal, wild sort of atmosphere. Punakaiki is a tiny settlement that exists for no purpose other than to service the hordes that come to see the area's most striking feature: a unique coastal rock formation called Pancake rocks.

3.The Waikato River
As it spills out of Lake Taupo, the Waikato is an unreal blue color. It's so vivid, it almost looked fake to me, like it was an elaborate, river-shaped swimming pool. I hiked a few kilometers alongside it until I reached the famous Huka falls. Taupo's Bungee Jump is situated above a picturesque bend in the Waikato.

4.Franz Josef Ranges
Franz Josef Glacier is a huge draw on the South Island's West coast. I teamed up with an American girl I met in Punakaiki to tackle a 1300m mountain called Alex Knob to get a higher (and cheaper) vantage point of the glacier than we'd get from a guided tour. The mount was shrouded in mist the whole time, so we didn't see much of the glacier, but we still got some incredible views of the surrounding rainforest and mountains.

5.Abel Tasman Coast Track
I spent the week of Christmas in the South Island's Abel Tasman National Park. My original idea was to do a whole five-day coastal trek and spend Christmas Day in the backcountry, but I decided to cut it short when I realized I was the only solo hiker on the trail -- among about a dozen vacationing families. I also had horrible blisters from wearing brand-new shoes. So I turned back after one night out there, to spend Christmas Day with my friends in nearby Marahau. Still, I saw a good 12 kilometers of the track and it didn't disappoint.

6.Golden Bay
I made two visits to this laid-back area north of the Abel Tasman. On the second trip, some friends and I explored the bay's northern edge -- a 30-kilometer expanse of sand called Farewell Spit. We braved a sudden sandstorm on the way across, then hiked into 80-kph winds on the way back inland. I didn't take many pictures of it because I was afraid to get sand in my camera, but I'll never forget the experience.

7.Waitakere beaches
On my first full day in New Zealand, my Auckland host took me out to three incredible beaches in the Waitakere range, west of the city. I was dumbfounded by the effortless beauty of these places. It was the perfect introduction to New Zealand.

8.Tongariro National Park
Mordor! A rugged, volcanic landscape that more closely resembles Mars than typical North Island New Zealand. It provided the perfect filming location for the evil realm of Mordor in The Lord of the Rings trilogy. There is a famous 19km hike through its center called the Tongariro Alpine Crossing. I lucked out with the weather and had an unforgettable day.

9.The Coromandel
The Coromandel is a wild, green peninsula shaped vaguely like a hand giving the middle finger to nearby metropolis Auckland. I spent most of my last week in New Zealand cruising its winding coastal roads in a rental car. I loved it and wish I'd given myself more time. Supposedly it's the region where the first human beings landed in New Zealand a thousand years ago. Understandably, they never went home.

10.The Milford Track
I think the first thing I did to prepare for my New Zealand trip was to book a spot on the famous Milford Track. It's New Zealand's most well-known hiking trail, and only a limited number of spots are available every year. I booked in August and the first available spot was January 29th. That exclusivity set some pretty high expectations in me, but the “finest walk in the world” lived up to them, it really did. Fiordland is a magical place. Hikers are advised to prepare for heavy rains, as the Fiordland area gets pounded year round, but miraculously, we had four straight days of sunshine. The 300+ photos I took don't really do it justice.

Drawing. The mossy basin at the bottom of the 600-meter Sutherland falls. We all took turns climbing on the rocks behind the falls. The falling water creates a powerful wind -- it's hard to catch a breath in the thick spray. In the foreground is a Swedish hiker, making her way to the base.
