Hey guys,
lots of advice huh? I've been in the north island 6 months, have done the kiwi and stray busses and am now doing a campervan round the south island. U need to decide what you want to get you of your trip in the time you have.
If you want to meet other young travellers and do some activites with people, do either kiwi/stray/magic busses. They all offer different ideas and things so you'd need to check them all out on their websites.
If you want the independant travell then look into hiring (expensive), naked bus (online only), buying a vehicle - car/campervan and re-selling after (has its risks) or you can hitch if your really up for an adventure.
if you have a budget to, bare in mind costs of accomodation, food activities and this may help you decide what funds you have left to dictate a travell means.
hope this is usefull
safe journey
ian
