Reviews
“An extraordinary travel report. This travel report is refreshingly different, the pictures are beautiful, the texts captivating, informative and amusing. With the many tips and information you could actually get on the plane and follow the route. Those who have not yet been to New Zealand are guaranteed to get wanderlust after the two hours of film. After the evening everyone else reminisces about their own trip. "
"But since the adventurers Silke Schranz and Christian Wüstenberg were more than dissatisfied with the selection of New Zealand travel guides and films, they simply armed themselves with a camera, traveled the country for three months and realized their own ideas of a travel film."
