Edited New Zealand by Hana Black

I asked local Kiwi and expert route builder & bikepacker, Hana Black, to put together my Around the World route through New Zealand. She carefully crafted this direct route.New Zealand is essential to my ride because it fulfills the antipodal requirement (matching with Madrid, Spain). I've never been to New Zealand and have always wanted to ride there. This stretch might be a bit tough because I'll be getting there in the dead of winter, as they are in the southern hemisphere and have the opposite seasons as us.Nevertheless, I'm excited for it!
