**Who knew New Zealand had so many epic tracks?** In this video, we take a legendary Land Rover Defender across some of the South Island’s most iconic routes. From world-famous landscapes to hidden gems known only to the locals, guided by our Kiwi friend Tom on his motorbike, we uncover the incredible variety of terrains this country offers. We’ve traveled through over 30 countries, but New Zealand never fails to surprise us. Every twist and turn reveals something new, something unforgettable.
That was our last episode of New Zealand… Next we head to Asia!!!
See you there,
Nick & Mathilde
