Tonight marks the end of the Term 3 School Holidays - which means the countdown is on to the Summer Holidays if you ask me!!!

10 Reasons Why You should Tell Everyone About Passmebuy ahead of the Kiwi Summer

Many may have organised where they might go to spend some quality time relaxing over Aotearoa’s epic Summer - others like me might have it all planned in thought but not quite in bookings and actuality (eek)! Either way, it’s in the air and we can start dreaming of what lies ahead as we start to dare to look forward to the Great Kiwi Summer.

Whether you’re chatting to colleagues, friends, family - those who are visiting us from distant lands - don’t forget to let them know about Passmebuy to help make those Summer days bliss-filled with unique experiences, epic local treats and special gifts and treasures!!!

Here’s 10 reasons why…

  1. Everyone needs at least one real fruit ice-cream or it’s not a real Summer. These places are often tucked away in spots you only know about if you know about - we’ve got a few easy to find on Passmebuy, that’s the point of a map, right?

  2. Avoid pull-over anxiety!!! We all recall that one (or many more) times we yanked the wheel down at just the right moment to enjoy an amazing treat…or the times we didn’t, so we missed out, and the FOMO was unbearable as you regretfully edged on to the next town… hanging out the window in hope of seeing another… 

  3. Avoid witnessing pull-over anxiety!!! Same as above, but in reverse - let’s all help each other keep the roads safer this Summer and tell EVERYONE about Passmebuy so they can PLAN their upcoming pull-overs!!! Avoid the need to see them executed at the literal last second while you’re cruising in behind..

  4. Hidden experiences, or should we change that to just “experiences”? When surveyed recently our base said they’d love to find more unique wee experiences in remote locations - there’s only a few so far, but Passmebuy being especially for little local places, hopes to have more on the map by the time Summer is here! 

  5. The unique gift or unbeatable momento. Want something small, special and unique to remember your trip by, or to pass on to someone else to give them a taste of your epic adventures? This is undeniably best done with a little local. I reckon there are thousands of little makers, crafters & creators around the country - I can’t yet show you where they all are, but I can show you where a lovely collection of them are! 

  6. Eggs for brekky at the Bach/Air BnB/Campground - A big Kiwi fry-up is a bit of a staple on our family getaways - doing it with eggs sourced locally sure feels good and saves some space and crack-stress in the car!

  7. Speaking of that brekky, what about locally sourced honey on toast?! Yes please!

  8. Because everyone wants and deserves to know the awesome local spots of their destination - joining local Facebook Groups is too hard, not the right fit and not the answer - just look at a free and available to anyone map that includes ONLY little local listings, algorithm and admin question free! 

  9. Sure, Maps is pretty helpful, but with another algorithm driving what preferentially shows up, it is HARD for the wee guys - on Passmebuy it is ONLY for the wee guys. 

  10. Because it should, quite simply, be convenient and easy to shop little and local. Find the little local legends that provide the experiences, treats and mementos that are truly the cherry on top of a great Kiwi Roadie. Instructions on how to save Passmebuy to your Homescreen (as a web-app) are on our FAQ page - keep it handy this Summer and enjoy!!!
