      Hi!

      I would really like to visit New Zealand.

      There you can enjoy wonderful landscapes (transparent sea water, wild mountains and impressive volcanoes…) and for this reason New Zealand is often chosen to film movies, like for example the Lord of the Rings.

      Did you know that New Zealand has remained separated from the rest of the lands above-sea-level for more than 80 million years? For this reason, many animals and plants evolved in a very unique way and cannot be found anywhere else (like the flightless bird called kiwi and tuatara, which is considered one of the most ancient reptiles on Earth). 🙂

      Hello,

      I would like to go to the Galápagos Islands. The diversity of life seen and the fact that this was part of Charles Darwin’s voyage of the Beagle. His observations and collections contributed to Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection.

      Also I like holidays where there are not that many people and with only 25000 people over all the islands this seems to tick all the right boxes.

      I’d like to visit the Andes, so probably Chile.

      Nicaragua – there are some desert islands off the East Coast which look amazing! I could go fishing and snorkelling all day, and then swing in a hammock all night.
