Shimokitazawa has become very fashionable in recent times ... the reason? It has been baptized as the hipster neighborhood of Tokyo! Although we have invented a term that I think is more suited to this place: "bohemhippypster". Shimokita, which is what the tokiotas call it, is a bohemian tad, quite hippie and very hipster.

When you have been traveling and living in a foreign country for a few months, you begin to adapt to its rhythm, its routine and its style. We have been in New Zealand for about 9 months, 9 months in which we have traveled many kilometers, in which we have settled down doing housesitting, in which we have worked and in which we have enjoyed feeling always welcome.

The problem of traveling through New Zealand is that, not only does it leave the bar very high, it is that it accustoms you to dreamlike landscapes that seem to be taken out of a fairy tale. The first time you freak out. The second you are amazed. The third one you like. The fourth smile. The fifth has become 'normal'.

If there was one thing we wanted to experience in Japan (more than eating sushi, crossing the Shibuya crosswalk and taking a selfie in front of Miyajima's torii) it was to live with Japanese ... and what better way to do it than with couchsurfing?

Queenstown is very pretty, we know that, but it is not a plan to stay bogged down, curing and eating sushi. It was time to make a sneak, so on our days off we went to Tapotupotu, which the poor already missed the road (and we too, why lie) and decided to make a route by car through the Catlins, to discover one of the most beautiful areas of the south island of New Zealand.

Queenstown was one of the most anticipated stops on our trip: each of the people who visited her left delighted and told us that it was the most beautiful city in New Zealand. They were right. Queenstown has fallen in love with us, how could it not? Mountains with its snowy peaks that surround it with the Remarkables as protagonists, a lake - the Wakatipu - as beautiful and transparent as cold, some shopping streets that never rest and beauty wherever you look.

Already, we know that it is the furthest place in your house. We also know that to get here you would have to fly many hours, too many perhaps.

Glaciers ... and the name motivates. It doesn't matter what you have to drive, or the way to go, or the climbs to the viewpoints to meet them from the front (or yes ...?). This was our next stop and one of the last of our journey through New Zealand: the Fox and Franz Josef glaciers. But, since in this country you cannot travel more than 50 kilometers without stopping to take photos, we decided to divide this stage into two days.
