New Zealand... you've really got it going on! The world is already well aware of New Zealand's down right sexiness... the stretching landscapes, towering mountain peaks, mirror lakes, untouched beaches and of course, us good looking locals. As we enter the midst of winter, New Zealand is really starting to show off, and hey, we aren't complaining!
