The ultraviolet rays are very strong, so you must carry sunscreen with you. Moreover, the weather in New Zealand is changeable, so rain gear should be prepared. 🎒 **Backpack**: Next but not least is a backpack with appropriate capacity but not too heavy. Pack all of the above in and you’re ready to explore New Zealand! -------------------- ✨️New Zealand, the travel dream you deserve. See you next time, in this desirable land! ✨️
