Top 10 Items To Bring For Working Holiday

Let me list out 10 items which you might not thinking of bringing it along but it plays an crucial role in your New Zealand Working Holiday. Bear in mind, this is NOT the top 10 important items to bring.


1) Day Pack
I would says 99% people will go for hiking/ walk during your working holiday. There are simply too much walkway for us to explore. A good quality day pack is important for you to bring along your necessity and the most important is it will make you more comfortable during your hiking.












2) Compression bag
This is definitely a good helper for you a long trip! It allows you to have more (instead a lot) space to pack your things! But bear in mind, it doesn't reduce the weight of your items. :) You can buy it at Daiso,  Ace Hardware or some traveller's shop. It just cost RM5-10 each.








3) Multi Pocket Security Belt
Passport, credit card!!! Although New Zealand is a country famous with its good security, it is better always to be careful. Bring your passport together with u all the time with this belt. You never know what kind of people are with you especially in the backpackers hostel. Yes, I am coward type, I even hug it when I slept in backpackers. This is slim and adjustable, just hide it underneath your clothes. It cost around RM20. Get it at traveller's shop like Rofina.



4)Skin Care
Remember to bring enough skin care for your whole trip!! The variety of skin care in New Zealand is very limited. If you don't mind to risk your face with unfamiliar product, leave this in Malaysia.










5) Sun Block
If you wish to use sun block with more than SPF50, bring it from Malaysia. There is no such thing in New Zealand. Sun block is important because the UV here is extremely high. Don't torture your skin.









6) Sun Glasses
Not for beauty purpose, the UV here is simply too high, sometimes you will feel your eyes are uncomfortable after have a long walk outdoor. Love your eyes.








7) Rubber Band
I must emphasize on this! It is very very very very hard to find a rubber grup musik in NZ which kiwis don't have the habit of tying up their food (biscuits, potato chips). You will need it when your food / ingredients need to tied up. Bring 1 pack of rubber grup musik to NZ!!!

8) Counter Pain
This will be your best mate if you work outdoor. Even you do not work outdoor, you will need it after some great hiking (Tongariro Alpine Crossing!!! 8 hours of hike)

9) Hair Dryer
Bring this along if you wanna pass your Working Holiday during winter time (even spring/ autumn cause it's gonna be cold). You will love this when you are cold and with wet hair!






10) Extra Camera Battery
Yes, highly recommend on this. If you have spare, please bring it. A lot of my friends have their camera battery gone during the important time!
