New Zealand Motorhome & Caravan Bloggers / YouTubers
For such a small country still getting into RVing full-time, there are quite a few of us creating videos and writing about our experience. I started this list with the idea of meeting as many as I could and so far have met nine of the fourteen listed below.
And I can't forget myself! You've already found my website, but below are my social media links:
