Language study trip in New Zealand – Vincent Roch

My stay in New Zealand was a really exceptional experience. For six months, I lived in a country which was at once similar and different to Switzerland. It was the things I managed to see, the discoveries I made there and the people that I met which made it a journey which was completely unique and unforgettable. I would return there as soon as possible without almost any hesitation. Here are some of the reasons why my stay was so exceptional…

Before savouring an Indian, Malaysian or African specialty at Wilson’s Wharf, go and pick up a few things at Victoria Street Market. But don’t stay there too long… the real Africa is found around this touristy market. Dare to stroll down the surrounding laneways and take the time to speak to the shopkeepers.

So you’re young, dynamic and passionate about surfing: then try out the impressive waves of the Indian Ocean that crash on the beaches of Durban.

… and start by visiting one or two of the national parks in a hire car. For example, Umfolozi – Hluhluwe (pronounced chouchloui), a day’s drive north of Durban. Smaller than the Kruger park but not so frequented, it has nothing to envy its big brother. Time will stop and you will have the impression that you have stepped right inside a picture book from your childhood. You will feel vibrations that have long been forgotten in Europe. For those who love peace and tranquillity, you even have the option of visiting on foot the valleys that can’t be reached by car, under the direction of guides who will show you treasures that you can’t even imagine…
