New Zealand is heaven on earth.

This country is one of the most remote places on our planet, but is home to the most breathtaking landscapes that look like they were made with AI.

From pristine freshwater lakes with fjords, towering snow -capped mountain ranges, and picturesque roads where you feel like you're in a dream.

New Zealand is known for having one of the highest qualities of life, more sheep than people, and filled with activities that will get your heart racing.

Welcome to heaven on earth.

So welcome to the beautiful land of New Zealand.

New Zealand has been at the top of my bucket list for so long, but I feel like I've kept pushing it off because it takes so long to get here.

It is about an 18 hour flight as well as an 18 hour time change.

Now the one thing I have not been looking forward to

with this trip is how here in New zealand they drive on the left side of the road

and the driver is on the right side of the car i have never done

that before in my life so hopefully we get around this island safely stay on the left side

all right we're ready so another weird thing is i keep going to hit my blinker

but it's the windshield wiper it's on the opposite side

and then also to go into reverse you have to do it lefty

so driving here it's almost like you're driving with one eye open

and in a reverse mirror everything is backwards and flipped it's

so weird also with me as my co -captain on this

adventure we got chris what's going on y 'all taking over

while brett focuses on the road real quick we keep saying

that this place feels like a movie everywhere you go

and that's actually kind of one of the first things we

have coming up we'll check back with you once we make it there safely got you

so New Zealand is one of those places that is

so beautiful that it makes you feel like you teleported inside of a fairy tale

or quite literally this is where they filmed one of the

most iconic movie series of all time here at the Hobbiton movie set

so we just learned something super fascinating where it took them

18 months to build this entire set where then they shot everything in 12 days

and was only seven minutes in the movie

and they only filmed for seven minutes

because i hate to break it to you guys this hobbit hole is actually a facade where

if you go in here you just have this empty wooden hut

so with a little movie magic When they have the actor go into the hobbit hole, they're actually going into a different set down in Wellington Still really cool though.

So in the beginning of the movie Frodo runs through this path right here and screams

Probably one of the best scenes in the entire movie Yep,

I'm going on an adventure Next movie starring Brett Conti,

but that was my audition tape Brett Baggins Now while the Hobbit homes were man -made, this unique landscape was not.

Even if you are not a fan of the movie series, exploring Hobbiton is truly a magical experience.

Which does make sense why it is one of the most visited places in the entire country, but I'd say is totally worth it.

So New Zealand is the country where Mother Nature just loves

to show off since right in front of me right here

is the world's highest commercially graded waterfall it is a class 5

and by far the highest and most powerful waterfall i've ever seen in real life

and also what we are about to be rafting down

chris you fired up for this i'm fired up i'm like you saying

that makes me feel like oh my god i'm gonna put chris on blast chris has been

so nervous about this the whole trip when i woke up I'm like, oh, man, it's here.

Nothing can prepare you for the rush you're about to have.

Let's do this, brother.

What are the chances of flipping?

Oh Pedals up in the middle of my saddle!

Alright, everybody get down!

We got this, Chris!

Let's go!

How was that?

Incredible!

Let's do that again Does it not always go that smoothly Oh my god,

that would have been fun Not for anyone else

Guys so that white water at the experience was incredible

if you are an adrenaline junkie you must come here to New Zealand and do that.

We did it with Rotta River Rafting

and they did such an incredible job keeping us safe but also making sure we had a thrill of a ride.

And now the thing Chris and I have been looking forward to most about this trip.

We have done a lot of ridiculous things on our travels but this one might be the most ridiculous.

We are driving a total of 10 hours today to go to the city that has the world's longest name.

Literally has a guinness world record for it what is the name what is the name it is uh

thankfully my buddy raw who is a local here in new

zealand has a song where he says the name like five times

so for these next five hours of driving we're gonna listen to

that song on repeat

and hopefully by the time we get there we'll be

masters of saying this name let

this adventure begin

oh my

gosh this is what we just drove three

and a half hours here we're gonna have to drive six

and a half hours after this

and it's totally worth it the longest name of a place in the entire world is right here

so i'm all about doing things for my life resume

but never did i think i would put on it going to the place with the world's longest name

and we made it all the way here where it is

kind of just a sign i do have to give credit

when credit is due chris this was your findings

and put it on the list of things we had to see i basically saw a tiktok video

and i ran it by you with no context i was just like bro look at this video

and you just looked at me in the dead in the eye

and you're like we gotta go i'm a man of my word and we made it to time

TAMATADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADAD BANG!

If you guys do plan on making the trek all the way out here, I do highly recommend checking the weather.

Right, fine and sunny weather

and te taumata whakatangihanga kō wauwau o Tama Te Aturi Pūkā ka pikimau ngā horonuku pō kai whenua ki tāna tahou.

So if you want to travel New Zealand, you are definitely going to be driving a lot.

So we made sure to pin some really cool spots

that we wanted to hit with one of them being here in the famous surf town of Raglan.

So if you guys do have the time, highly recommend stopping here for a bite to eat and for a surf.

Raglan is actually a renowned surf spot since it has one of the longest left breaks in the world.

You can ride a wave for what feels like minutes.

So after getting to explore the town of Raglan and the incredible surf, We got on a quick flight from the North Island off to Christchurch in the South Island.

100

So we just met here to Lake Tekapo.

101

I must say, this place truly is heaven on earth.

102

And I am already so impressed from the North Island, but I know

103

that people say the real crown jewel of New Zealand is here in the South Island because of its beauty, nature, and adventure.

104

And one of the main reasons I was

105

so excited to come here to New Zealand was because my grandfather was a world traveler.

106

And out of all the places he's been, he said that you have not lived until you come here to New Zealand.

107

So man, it really just is a dream come true.

108

So excited to be here in New Zealand.

109

so as you guys can see New Zealand is absolutely beautiful

110

but I must say the beauty does come with a price so

111

if you are traveling here I do highly recommend packaging everything

112

together with Expedia since on Expedia you can book your flights

113

your rental car your activities your stays everything all in one place

114

and when you do package things together on Expedia it does give you discounts

115

and makes it overall significantly cheaper also i am very excited to say

116

that expedia gave me my own discount code

117

which is just brett at checkout

118

and you will get five percent off all eligible stays

119

and all of you can use that discount code for properties all around the world but

120

if you guys do want to see the specific hotels i

121

stayed at here in new zealand i will leave a link

122

to my expedia travel shop down below i have places from

123

70 a night all the way up to around 250 oh

124

my gosh guys this has by far been the most incredible drive

125

that we've had yet here in new zealand and it's been very moody

126

and cloudy for most of it

127

but as of right now the clouds just let the mountains peek through

128

and you can see the top of mount cook mother nature is just showing off for us right now wow

129

so today we are doing the hooker's peak trek

130

which is about a three mile trail one way

131

and already being just five minutes in it is absolutely incredible

132

like just check out this suspension bridge over this crystal clear blue water with this unbelievable view like Come on guys

133

How is this even real life and there is Chris?

134

Being as lit as ever a lot of you guys might think

135

that I hire Chris to come with me because he's good with the camera That's just a plus.

136

It's really just because he keeps me very entertained

137

So we made it here to the Hooker Lake, which I didn't know that the reward that you get, the payoff, is a three degree iceberg cold punch.

138

Honestly, pretty good for me, it's not so good for Chris.

139

Let's go, Florida boy.

140

All right, so we met a new friend, Nicky, from Australia.

141

We're gonna dive in now.

142

You guys ready?

143

Three, two, one.

144

oh yeah nice and cold

145

so the reason why this water is so blue and also

146

so cold is because it is glacier water as you can see there is glaciers

147

that are melting and it's just flowing rushing down the mountain into this lake right here

148

and new zealand i would have to describe as just being

149

so clean and so pure

150

if heaven looks as good as this i'm going to be quite happy

151

and you will have gotten the preview this is the preview to have it yeah this is the pre

152

and you got a little

153

preview after clocking dozens of hours of driving i would say

154

the hardest part of the drives has been trying to not stop every five minutes to take in the views

155

and after a very successful first day in the south island i was very excited to see what tomorrow would bring

156

So something new that I learned about here in New Zealand is that there is actually something called the Southern Lights.

157

Similar to the Northern Lights where you have the crazy green aura, you have that here in the Southern Hemisphere

158

and unfortunately we have not gotten to see that yet

159

but Chris over here did wake up in the middle of

160

the night got a dope night lapse yeah thing is

161

that I had to stay up so late is

162

because I had to wait for the moon to set

163

if the moon is out you don't see the stars like

164

on camera it came out all right it was my first time doing a couple years

165

but even just like looking up at the night sky I

166

promise you it's one of the most beautiful things you'll ever see yeah shouts Chris for

167

that not gonna lie your boy was sleeping like a baby

168

and that is because today we have our biggest hike yet ahead of us let's head out to Roy's Peak so after a two

169

and a half beautiful drive we made it here to the

170

town of Wanaka to do the famous Roy's Peak Roy's Peak

171

is one of the most iconic views in all the South Island of New Zealand

172

and is a pretty advanced hike we met a couple hikers

173

that said it took them about six hours and was pretty intense

174

so Chris let this six -hour adventure begin bro back -to

175

-back days of hiking we've got about 10 miles round trip

176

and apparently like 1300 meters in elevation I don't know what

177

that conversion is but it sounds like a lot so yeah even just looking at it right now

178

looks pretty darn steep to me i've got the tunes to get us through ready

179

also side note this is very unintentional

180

but we're like both kind of matching right now

181

so we look like we look like we're on like the amazing race or something

182

Checking in about three hours later and five miles later

183

and we are really in one of the most beautiful places on this planet.

184

I can see the top of the summit right over yonder

185

and it looks so close but still got a bit of a ways to go.

186

One hour later.

187

And we made it.

188

Give me a hand.

189

Final step.

190

Come on.

191

Ahhhh

192

so the hike was pretty intense but i would say the average person

193

and even the average sheep could do it

194

so i was like for you guys it wasn't too bad

195

overall though hike was amazing definitely one of the best views I've ever had on a hike

196

and if you look back you can see all of the switchbacks

197

and how intense this hike actually is

198

so we went all the way down every single one of those roads

199

and then the car park which is all the way down there.

200

Now it's time to go all the way back down.

201

If you guys are into road trips then New Zealand is definitely the place for you.

202

We are currently on a two -hour adventure to Milford Sound

203

but the entire drive has just been absolutely beautiful we are

204

honestly just up in the mountains in the clouds in the sky

205

and through the rivers such a magical place

206

so we just took a quick stop to check the tire pressure aka take a leak

207

but just check out how beautiful this place is guys definitely top five places I've ever taking a leak.

208

For real though, this is just heaven on earth.

209

So just when I thought New Zealand couldn't get any more beautiful, we just made here to the Milford Sound as we're going

210

through the fjords on this cruise ship where we've already gotten to seeing seals, dolphins, waterfalls, this crystal blue water from the glaciers,

211

and just honestly one of the most majestic places I've ever seen out of any country.

212

So what makes Milford Sound and all of New Zealand so magnificent?

213

is that it all starts with the air

214

because of new zealand's isolated location it receives some of the

215

purest air on the planet from there clean air transcends to clean rain clean crops healthy livestock to clean food

216

which is why new zealand

217

and its people have one of the highest qualities of life on earth

218

and it all circles back to clean air so much

219

that there is a company that literally harnesses the air puts it in a can

220

and is bought by people who live in highly polluted areas

221

this milford sound experience is a little bit far to get to

222

but should definitely not be missed

223

if you're in new zealand the cruise itself was about 90

224

that i will leave a link to book on expedia down below

225

so we have finally made it to the last destination of this two -week adventure here in queenstown

226

and i must say it is so nice to be in a place like queenstown

227

which is a proper city since we have just been staying

228

in all these tiny little villages for the past two weeks like especially staying in places like

229

and here in queenstown we are staying in this incredible property let me show you

230

so we are staying here at the sherwood

231

which has felt like a full -on wellness retreat they have a sauna co -working spaces

232

and even a garden where they grow a lot of the ingredients for their incredible restaurants

233

so if you guys are coming here to Queenstown this is a great option

234

and at a good price point

235

so I will leave a link down below to the Expedia

236

booking for the Sherwood where you can also use discount code

237

BRETT for five percent off also Queenstown is like the adventure

238

capital of the world where right now we are in a

239

gondola heading to the top of a mountain to do something pretty cool

240

and now we are going to do something a little bit more adventurous today we're going bungee jumping

241

so this is going to be both mine

242

and chris's first time ever bungee jumping chris how are we feeling my brother it's the nerves

243

and the adrenaline are hitting for sure

244

and we haven't even gotten to yet yeah i've been very excited about this i've always wanted to bungee

245

and what better place than here in new zealand where this bridge is actually the first place

246

that it was commercialized to go bungee jumping.

247

So let's go jump off this bridge.

248

Are you traveling with anyone, Brett?

249

Yeah, my friend's here.

250

He's jumping after me.

251

He's really scared.

252

You see a tall dude that's like six foot two over there.

253

When he comes here, he's shaking.

254

This is it?

255

Yes.

256

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
