Four Months of Vanlife in New Zealand - Traveling New Zealand on a Budget

New Zealand was a non stop adventure for us.  We saw so much in just a little over two months. We focused all of our time on the South Island, hiking and camping in all the amazing National Parks.  We Drove well over 5,000 Kilometers and Hiked over 300 Kilometers.  This is an amazing country if you're into the outdoors, New Zealand is a must see for you.  

Video shot on a Panasonic GH4 and GoPro Hero 4 Black.  Motion control timelapses are shot on a SYRP Genie.

Where to See the Aurora Australis on New Zealand's South Island

The New Zealand night sky is one of the most amazing we've ever seen.  We were lucky enough to witness the Aurora Australis, on a clear night, with a new moon.  If you're in New Zealand and wondering about the status is of the Aurora Australis, you can check out the Aurora Service Facebook page to see if you will be able to see it.  We were able to capture it, here, using long exposures (25 sec) and used a SYRP Genie to get the motion control on the timelapse.
