About Us

Hi!

Welcome to New Zealand in Pictures, a blog about beautiful green country in the South Pacific Ocean. I love traveling throughout the country and taking shots of beautiful places - beaches, small towns, mountains, fjords and native forests. I want to share with you those beautiful shots, so relax and explore New Zealand with me.

Photography is my latest passion. Also I like cooking and taking shots of beautiful styling food. Check my blog "Gourmet Recipes" for tasty recipes and food photography.

Hope to see you here again, cheers!
