Today’s destination is: New Zealand

Nestled in the southwestern Pacific Ocean, New Zealand is a captivating island nation renowned for its breathtaking landscapes, rich Maori culture, and adventurous spirit.

From the snow-capped peaks of the Southern Alps to the pristine beaches of its North Island, New Zealand’s natural beauty knows no bounds. It’s a land of contrasts, where one can explore lush rainforests, rugged coastlines, and geothermal wonders in a single journey.

Beyond its stunning scenery, New Zealand boasts a vibrant cultural tapestry, with indigenous Maori traditions interwoven with modern influences. Cities like Auckland and Wellington pulse with creativity and innovation, offering a blend of cosmopolitan amenities and laid-back charm.

Whether hiking through the enchanting Fiordland National Park, sampling world-class wines in Marlborough, or immersing oneself in Maori heritage at Te Papa Museum, New Zealand promises an unforgettable adventure at every turn.

We’re presenting a selection of sapphic books set in New Zealand, but you are not obligated to read one of the titles below. Find any sapphic book set in New Zealand. Read it. Submit a form to enter to win a $75 Amazon gift card.
