Number 1 holiday destination in the world?

Responsibletravel.com has just selected New Zealand as the winner and best overall destination for their 2008 Responsible Tourism Awards. Which makes us pretty excited to be heading there in February for our new South Pacific Singletrack mountain bike trip.

Have you been to New Zealand? Know anyone who's been? Want to go?

We'd love to hear your stories (we've never been ourselves) and any wisdom you can share with us beforehand. Please leave your comments by clicking on the comment button below.
