When I arrived in Queenstown, it struck me how mountainous the surroundings were. I was expecting some incredibly beautiful scenery, but I wasn’t expecting the scenes that greeted me one afternoon as I went for a stroll in the centre.

I guess I’ve come to realise that Queenstown is known for two key aspects: its incredible natural scenery and its adrenaline activities for visitors to immerse themselves in and enjoy.
