Ah, New Zealand, with its striking landscapes straight out of the 'Lord of the Rings,' putting even the best Instagram filter to shame. It's the place where sheep may just outrank people, the home to residents who walk around barefoot as if the entire country is their living room. The culturally rich Maori heritage strikes a hearty competition with the All Blacks' Haka dance. Let's not forget the delightful accent that turns 'fish and chips' into an irresistible indulgence, 'fush and chups,' mate.
