One of the hardest parts of planning an overseas trip is knowing where all the best places to stay are. Finding New Zealand tourist information is no different. Sure you can buy a guidebook, and follow it to the letter, you can book a 12 day whistle stop tour and blast your way through the country so fast you can barely breathe, or maybe you could even blindfold yourself, step onto a giant map of New Zealand, and write down all the places you walk over as you stumble from one end of the living room to the other, but who knows if you are getting to see the best parts New Zealand has to offer?

What if the guidebook is out of date? It is often only written by a small group of people who got free accommodation to write a great review. It's hardly impartial is it? And that tour can look great on paper, but what is it really like? As for the blindfold and the map idea, you might end up with a headache bigger than the one you got when you tripped over the coffee table while you did your map walking thing. Who knows where to stay? Where to go? What to see?

So where can you go to find the New Zealand tourist information you need? Like anything, finding real people to talk to helps. If people just like you have found a cool spot that had the most amazing views, the campground with the best amenities, the tours that gave the best value for money, surely you'd want them to tell you all about it right?

Getting the personal touch of experience stamped all over your NZ tourist information can help you cut out a lot of time and energy selecting the places and events that fit your personality the most. You can find out from a wide range of people whether a place lives up to other tourists expectations without having to plough through all that confusing marketing speak.

A magnet for adventure tourism, the extreme sports capital of the world has more than a million visitors descend here every year, to face near-death experiences. Commercial  bungy jumping originated here. Not for the faint-hearted, the Nevis Highwire Bungy, suspended at 134m gives you 8.5 seconds of free fall over the rugged Nevis River. Skydiving is another option. Else, you can go funyaking (a combination of jetboating and kayaking), hand gliding, jet boating or canyoning. In winter, skiing and snowboarding are must-dos.

Brazil, South America Going fishing might not sound adventurous, but when it's fishing for the world's deadliest fish, the piranha, keeping your fingers clean from their sharp, hungry mouths can be quite a task. Take a fishing trip to Patantal, Brazil's natural habitat of piranhas, and ensure you don't leave with a nasty souvenier. Brazil is also ideal for kitesurfing (a water sport that uses the wind to pull a rider on a small surfboard), climb a tree and get to a 100 feet above the forest overlooking the Rio Negro River and go rafting down the rapids of Paraibuna River.

Does anybody else think that nature and man have taken a toll on their travel plans recently? OK, granted the desire of travelers to see the world is incredibly minute compared with the needs of people to have shelter and water and make a living. Let's just get that out of the way. Setting that aside, it seems dream vacations to some of our favorite destinations are beginning to look like nightmares.

Take Key West. Beautiful, scenic southernmost point. Today, tar balls washed ashore. Nashville, floods. Chile, earthquake. Puerto Rico, same. Peru, mudslides (they closed Macchu Picchu). Mexico, horrible violence. Greece, bankruptcy. Iceland, bankruptcy, then volcanic ash. Ditto on ash for Scotland and the UK - although a friend just flew back from London and had no problems coming or going. Haiti - not a typical vacation destination, but I wonder how neighboring Dominican Republic is doing.

I have always loved Mexico, having grown up in Southern California. I began exploring Mexico in my teens, often while playing hooky from High School. I and a few friends would fill the VW Bug with camping gear and head to Baja California. If we had more than a weekend we would travel to the Sea of Cortez where we would swim and fish and eat. It was a wonderful life, full of excitement and beauty.

The weather was always hot and humid and we ran around naked, carefree and in love with the world.Mexico Vacation Travel brings many rewards, relaxation, discovery, adventure, romance. I love the museums in Mexico City and Guadalajara. The ocean scene in Puerto Vallarta and Los Cabos is outstanding. The most beautiful beaches in the world can be found at the tip of Baja California Sur.
