Travel to New Zealand 
for 8 days and 7 nights with my sister 
We handled the visa application ourselves, providing a bank statement showing a balance of over 50,000, a letter explaining our current unemployed status, and proof of previous international travel. The visa process was surprisingly smooth [sly smile R]
We rented a car and drove ourselves, taking care of the driver’s license translation on our own.
Flights from Guangzhou 
to Auckland cost 4500, and we added round-trip flights between the North and South Islands, bringing the total flight cost to 1900.
Our route took us from Auckland 
Christchurch Tekapo Queenstown, each destination offering its own unique charm and breathtaking landscapes.
We stayed in an Airbnb that we absolutely loved, and the environment was spotlessly clean 
The hike at Mount Cook was truly awe-inspiring 
, with stunning views and a sense of adventure at every turn. The total cost of the trip came to around 13,000 [shy R][shy R]
That sounds like an amazing trip! I didn’t realize the visa process could be so straightforward if you’re prepared. Driving yourself around definitely seems like the way to go for flexibility.
