(New) Jersey-born and raised, I started "Namrita Travels" in late 2022 as a way to share my travel adventures.

Not everyone decides to stop in cute little city of Thames, situated in the southeastern corner of the Firth of Thames, not far from Coromandel Forest Park, but you should. We spent the night here after a day spent on the eastern coast near Cathedral Cove, before we drove to Hamilton for our Hobbiton tour. I loved the main street with...
Chances are that if you’re planning to visit New Zealand’s South Island (and you absolutely should, because why else are you going?), you’re going to drive through Kaikōura on your way to Christchurch from Picton (where the interisland ferry stops). It’s a beautiful small town that’s a starting point for...
