When planning my travels, I always naively assumed these two destinations were part of the same country, imagining I could explore both in a single trip. It was quite a surprise to learn that New Zealand requires its own separate visa. [Embarrassed R]

Haha, I used to make the same mistake! It’s funny how our assumptions can be way off. Learning about the visa requirements was an eye-opener. Now I know they’re definitely separate but equally amazing places.
