Our plan was to stay in Queenstown for two, max three days. We ended up staying almost three weeks. Queenstown is like a black hole which will devour you (in a positive way of meaning) without realizing it. In this article I will describe my three weeks in Queenstown and I will give you few reasons why this town should be on your bucket list of places in New Zealand.<\/h4>\n

COUCHSURFING in QUEENSTOWN<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Although we are currently living in our campervan (read an article about buying a campervan in NZ HERE<\/strong><\/a>), it is difficult to find a spot in and around Queenstown where to park it (for free). That is also why we decided to approach local kiwis on couchsurfing<\/u><\/em> (the best travel app ever!<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Our host who actually offered us a spot where to park our campervan and possibility to take shower and do our laundry, also offered us a very tempting deal. To stay in his beautiful house with breath-taking views over Wakatipu lake with a jacuzzi on the patio for two weeks in exchange of few days of work at his house. <\/strong>Our job would be to paint one small room of his outdoor house. Who would say no to such an offer? Therefore, we ended up staying at our host\u00b4s place for almost three weeks instead of three days.<\/p>
