Episode 67: New Zealand Experiences You Shouldn't Miss

Updated: May 7, 2021

Whether you’re headed to New Zealand or just dreaming about a future visit, you’ll want to listen to this ExtraVirgin Food & Travel episode.

We were lucky enough to have the extremely knowledgeable Stephanie Holmes on the podcast for this episode on New Zealand. A British-born, now Auckland local, Stephanie is the travel editor of The New Zealand Herald and presenter of the podcast Trip Notes, so is perfectly placed to talk us through the can’t-misses of Aotearoa.
