Queen Charlotte Track- New Zealand

For the adventurous and outdoorsy, the Queen Charlotte track in New Zealand offers a stunning hiking experience throughout the entire 80km journey.

It's not an easy trek, but it is worth every second. From the ocean, to mountains to the wildlife, the hike is exciting and rewarding. Ensure you pack blister packs because the trek takes it out of your feet.

Just one of the stunning views

Personally, I carried my hiking bag full of gear for the 4 day journey, however services are available to have your luggage transported to each accommodation destination.

Private transport to ship cove from Picton is available, the boats drop you to the beginning of the track. From there the journey begins. When you arrive at Anakiwa (the end of the track) the same transport companies are available to return you back to Picton.

Fuji Q - Home to the roller coaster world records

Fuji-Q Highland - Home to the roller coaster world records Are you a thrill seeker? Perhaps you'd call yourself an adrenaline junkie? Well if that's how you see yourself, then Fuji Q is a must go when visiting Japan. It is obvious that Mt Fuji is one of the main tourist attractions in Japan, however, people never seem to consider FujiQ.  Why not get more bang for your buck? FujiQ is a theme park situated at the base of Mt Fuji, which means that you can essentially see Mt Fuji, as well as enjoy yourself on the thrilling rides the theme park has to offer.  In my personal experience, the long train ride was well worth it, especially if you have a group of friends to support you during your journey.  Now I'm betting your wondering, what exactly makes Fuji-Q different to any other ordinary theme park?  Fuji-Q is home to the many of the world's record holding roller coasters, as well as two haunted houses which operate all day with highly specialised ac

Disney Sea - Nostalgic for both you and me

Disney Sea - Nostalgic for both you and me It isn't much of a surprise for Disney Sea to be a place of extreme nostalgia for the current generation of teens, and even the older generation of parents in our day and age. With references to Disney favourites such as Mickey Mouse, and perhaps even newer Disney icons such as Indiana Jones, regardless of what age group you are, you're bound to have a blast.  It should be duly noted that an early arrival at Disney Sea is of paramount importance if you want to secure those prized quick pass tickets that allow surpassing of the long and dreaded lines that exist in all major theme parks.  With an amazing light show, as well as delicious chicken and turkey legs, the food and entertainment segment is covered. However, for those that are adrenaline junkies, fear not, because the Toy Story ride is just right for you!  So, what in the world are you waiting for? Take a trip down memory lane, and visit Disney Sea ASAP
