You and New Zealand: Separated by More Than Just a Few Yeehaws
So, you're itching for an adventure, eh? You've heard whispers of majestic fjords, sheep outnumbering people by a landslide (or should that be sheepadoodle?), and enough Lord of the Rings filming locations to make your inner hobbit squeal with delight. New Zealand sounds pretty darn epic, right? But hold your horses (or should that be wallabies? We're getting there!) – how far exactly is this kiwi paradise from your Oklahoma digs?

| How Far Away Is New Zealand From Oklahoma |
Buckle Up, Buttercup, It's a Long Ride (Literally)
We're not talking about a quick pop over to Texas for barbeque here. New Zealand is about 7,651 miles (or 12,313 kilometers) away from Oklahoma as the crow flies. That's farther than you can toss a boomerang (and trust us, those things have serious range).
Translation: You'll Need More Than Just a Tank of Gas
Forget road-tripping this one. You'll be spending more time with in-flight movies than mosquitos on a summer night in Oklahoma. Start saving those frequent flyer miles or brushing up on your seafaring skills (pirate hat optional).
Tip: Read at your own pace, not too fast.
The Upside of Down Under Being So Far Away
Hey, look on the bright side! All that distance means plenty of time to:
- Perfect your kiwi accent: "Kia Ora" means hello, just sayin'.
- Brush up on your Lord of the Rings trivia: Prepare to be quizzed by fellow fans.
- Stock up on bug spray: Legends say there are more sheep than bugs, but better safe than sorry.
How to Get Your New Zealand Fix Without the Flight
Can't quite swing the trip just yet? Don't fret! Here's your New Zealand fix from the comfort of Oklahoma:
QuickTip: Skip distractions — focus on the words.
- Dive into a pavlova: This meringue dessert is lighter than a sheep and twice as delicious.
- Binge-watch "Flight of the Conchords": These quirky Kiwis will have you laughing in no time.
- Visit your local zoo: Maybe they have a kiwi exhibit? (If not, a penguin will do in a pinch.)
