Hello fellow swingers,

We are a dutch couple living in France, married since 10 years, no kids and in the lifestyle since 15 years. In daily life we work as pilot and purser for a major european airline. Here it comes: we'll be coming to NZ between 15 april and 15 may. We'll be touring the country in a spaceship (cross between minivan and camper) and hoping to really enjoy the good things your country has to offer.

We can of course follow a guide book while visiting but what we find makes a holiday really special is getting the info first hand from the locals. We often have friends from all over the world visiting us in the south of France. And it is a joy to show them the beauty of our surroundings, often showing or doing the things which are unknown to many and which are often not mentioned in the guidebooks.

Furthermore, it is our experience that the people in the swinging community have a good appetite for life, love the outdoors, know how to enjoy themselves, are open to new experiences and open to help out strangers within the lifestyle .

What we like to ask you is if you can give us some advise and tips on how to get most out of our time in NZ. We will be travelling from the far north to the deep south and up again. We will be completely independent with our spaceship which has a bed, toilet, cooking gear etc.

Your time invested for our sake is very much appreciated. We hope we recieve any valuable input concerning your area or any other area within NZ where you are deeply familiar with. You can make it as specific as you like. The more the better in this case. And if we have mutual attraction, why not undertake something together and find out if we can deepen our relation even further. We are completely public regarding photos etc so for people seeking anything more than feeding us tips for our journey, please open up your photo album to show us how you look like.

What are we looking for:

-beautiful places where we should be spending nights (into the wild or campsites)

-places or parks which we must visit

-towns where we must spend some time

-restaurants which we shouldn't miss

-Wine or winery which we must taste resp. visit

-outdoors activity which we must dare to do

-walk or trekking which we must undertake

-road which we must drive

-people we must meet

Well you get the picture......... anything you think of, or anything you yourselves enjoy or have enjoyed during your lives.

As we said, we are dutch, but we also speak english, german, french and Monique even also spanish and papiamentu (caribian language). As a lot of Kiwi's are foreign, this might forge a bond as well.

For now we wish you well and we sincerely hope to get some good tips.

XXX, Rolf and Monique.
