Two days and counting.... >>
England (Home, Gloucester)
Leaving on a jet plane, don’t know when I’ll be back again…… For some reason that song keeps going round in my head, but actually, it pretty much sums up my situation right now. Two days and counting….. I’m currently at home,...

Greetings from Auckland >>
New Zealand, Auckland (ACB)
After what seemed like forever on a plane, I finally arrived in Auckland. After having not slept for 48 hours waiting in airports/on planes, I couldn't wait to get to the hostel and jump in the shower. Sleep, however, was not on the...

Bay of Islands - Sweet As! >>
New Zealand, Paihia (ACB)
After spending a few days in Auckland, it was time to head out of the city and explore the area they call 'the winterless north'. I am now up in the Bay of Islands and staying in Paihia for a few days before I fly down to the South Island....

Ice, ice baby! >>
New Zealand, Franz Josef (Franz Josef)
Hiking out on the glacier was an incredible experience. I found myself using the word 'amazing' at regular intervals, but really there was no other word to describe it. Perhaps I need to make up a new one.... [img]...

Catching the summertime vibe >>
New Zealand, Tauranga
Leaving the wonders of the South Island behind me, I flew up from Christchurch to Tauranga. I had to change planes in Auckland, getting on the smallest commercial flight I had ever been on. We had to walk out onto the airstrip to get on...

Getting back to nature on Stewart Island >>
New Zealand, Oban (Stewart Island)
The ferry journey over from Invercargill to Stewart Island could only be described as 'interesting' as we bounced over the waves on the hour-long journey. I figured that it could be classed as an adventure sport in its own right. The...

Feeling the vibes at the festival >>
New Zealand, Raglan (Soundsplash Eco Reggae Festival)
I've just got back from an amazing weekend at the Soundsplash Festival in Raglan, on the west coast of North Island. It was my first roadtrip with the other two British girls who I'm working with, Dawn and Zoe. We were all pretty excited,...

Getting hot & steamy in Rotorua >>
New Zealand, Rotorua (Rotorua)
A blissfully relaxing day! Alex, Bernie, Zoe and I drove to Rotorua today to experience the joys of the hot pools and check out the eerily spectacular mud pools. Rotorua is a place unlike any other, and really has to be seen (and smelt)...

The Coromandel Adventure! >>
New Zealand, Whitianga
On 1st of June it became officially winter here. Since then I have been swimming in the sea and kayaking in the sea (with the sort of kayak that has holes in the bottom so you get wet). The Kiwis think we're mad, but I said no, we're...

Wellington - New Zealand's Cultural Capital >>
New Zealand, Wellington (Wellington)
The lights of Wellington stretched across the horizon as my bus drew closer to the city. Days of torrential rain had stopped play on the outdoor activities front, putting paid to any thoughts of doing the Tongariro Crossing or even the...

Sydney Rocks! >>
Australia, Sydney
It's strange to be back in a big city after spending so many months in New Zealand, where even the two largest cities, Auckland and Wellington aren't that large by international standards. To begin with it was a blur of lights, people and...
