My niece Emily and her husband Juan live in New Zealand.
They were both raised in this area, they visited the country on vacation and fell in love with it,
the people, the lifestyle, hiking the mountains, the gorgeous waterways and the food.
They are so brave and so adventurous, they took that leap of faith and moved.
New Zealand experiences all four seasons like we do, but not at the same time as we do here.
Right now, it is autumn, their winter starts when our summer begins.
It is an island country in the South Western Pacific Ocean.
It consists of two main land masses, the North Island and the South Island and over 700 smaller islands.
They are hikers and explorers and take all of these pictures themselves.
I have in the past, but not recently, shared some of the pictures they send me.
So here it is, New Zealand, one of the most beautiful places on earth.
