Because I have been to a diverse selection of places, I feel like I have a pretty good idea of what the most interesting places throughout the world are. Although I have never sat down and made a list of these destinations, if I was going to make this kind of list, one of the places that would make it to the top of my list would be New Zealand.

So, why exactly would I rate New Zealand as one of the most interesting places in the world? Well, this is a hard question to answer, but that is exactly why I would put it at the top of list. New Zealand is an extremely diverse place, so trying to pigeonhole just a handful of characteristics that make it such an excellent place would be a very hard task.

Even though I can’t boil down the appeal of New Zealand into just a few sentences (which is why travel books about New Zealand are so long; there’s simply so many great things there), I will say that New Zealand is a destination that can provide an enjoyable vacation for just about anyone.
