New Zealand is a quite expensive country. All in all, my eight-weeks long stay did cost me some 6730,– Euros – less then expected\/feared, but still quite a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

This results in average daily expenses of 75,69 EUR<\/abbr>. Compared to last time<\/a> (with a daily average of 52,43 EUR<\/abbr>), this seems to be quite excessive. However, the exchange rate was quite different: Four years ago, one Euro was worth 2,36 NZD<\/abbr> (on average), whereas this time, it was worth only 1,57 NZD<\/abbr> – a huge difference! Therefore, the whole picture changes when looking at the daily expenses in New Zealand Dollars:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

So, I even spent less<\/em> this year compared to my last stay! Only for food, my expenses increased considerably. This is mainly due to the fact that I needed to buy special products (free from wheat, cow's milk, soy, etc.<\/abbr>), which are extremely<\/em> expensive. Moreover, this time, I did not always choose the cheapest product, but also bought e.g.<\/abbr> (more expensive) organic food.<\/p>\n

The main difference, however, is in the activities I did: This year, I mainly went hiking (which is, apart from transport to\/from the trail heads, basically free). Last time, I also did quite a few tours. For these, the costs did add up quite quickly.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
