you should go to new zealand. it is my favorite place on earth and its not even close.to qualify that statement, i have been to 4 contents and several island nations in the south pacific. go their and buy a used van or car as soon as you arrive. 1000US will get a very reliable vehicle. then just bum around the country going from hostel to hostel (8us a night) as you please. i hitched all over both islands after my friends and i sold our 88 holden comodor...it was the time of my life and i would recommend you give it a shot if you need to. you will get to see the local culture from a different vantage point. the Maori people, community dynamic and culture is worth embracing and experiencing. if you decide to go this route let me know and i will give you all my favorite surf spots and hikes. this country changes people for the better and a one or two week trip is not nearly enough time.
i wanna come.can i come?jk kinda
