You are here: Home / Archives for Travel / New Zealand / Auckland

Auckland is New Zealand’s largest city. Located on the North Island, it is an isthmus that is home to nearly 1/3 of the country’s population. It is my adopted home and one of my favourite cities in the world.

The more I travel around the city, the more I discover, and the deeper my passion for this city grows. At Albom Adventures we feature a cross-section of Auckland ranging from adventure to relaxation. It’s a city that has it all.

If you love New Zealand and want to discuss it with other travellers or residents, join our Facebook group: Explore New Zealand and share travel tips, stories, photos, or just ask questions.
