Topic: Newbie...Hello everyone!

Hello all! I'm NZ bound in late October! I just wanted to say hey to everyone and hopefully get to know (and possibly meet) some of you. Any general advice for my upcoming trip would be much appreciated!

Hey there, welcome to NZB!

One of our long-term members, Styx, has written a decent itinerary for touring the country: New Zealand Boards - Recommended New Zealand Itineraries

Or are you looking to settle somewhere, and want suggestions?

As a newbie myself just saying hello and looking forward to interesting exchanges with everyone

Thanks Kall! I am planning on working and traveling while in NZ. I'm going to be there for 7 months and I'm hoping to work my way from the NI to the SI.

Any advice for transportation, luggage, etc?
