» So many adventures, so little money...
I will get back to recapping my Moroccan adventures, hopefully sooner rather than later. For the moment, though, I wanted to post a bit of an update on more current topics. I got back from Thailand on Sunday night. Details of that journey will be put i

» Face Tatts, Burger King, Scotch, Temazapam, Street Dogs, Fist Fights, Ribs & Home.
As mentioned before, our itinerary included 5 countries: Australia, New Zealand, Chile, Peru and Colombia, that we were to pass through in around forty hours. For both Catalina an I, this was the biggest voyage either of us had ever partaken in. 40 fucken

» The trip of my life
…how shall I begin… who?where?how? About an year ago me and my very best friend Tom made a decision about going for a trip of our life. At the beginning it was 4 of us, but for the other 2 life has chosen different path…what a pity… The year

» addicted to travel
So, not only am I planning my trip to Morocco, I'm also planning future trips. I blame the Intrepid brochures. And, some day soon, I plan to post an updateable list of the Things I Want to do Before I Die. One of those things will be a trip to New Zealand

» A new brand of yoga
Just got back from exercise class. My lungs loosened up and made me cough a bit. My stomach muscles feel a little tight, and come to think of it my jaw does too. It must have been the part when we pretended to be balloons deflating and phlllbbbbbbed

» Mardi Gras in Narnia
Thanks for the nudge Mama! Stories not shared are soon forgotten in this ADD brain…. “It CAN’T be Mardi Gras! It’s not Lent!” That was my mom’s response when I told her about the Mardi Gras Start of Winter Party. “We should be Me

» I won an auction for a coffee table on Trade Me.
I won an auction for a coffee table on Trade Me. When I went to pick it up I discovered it was actually less than half the size I envisioned from its zoomed-in photo. While there though, the nice couple selling it asked if I needed anything else, like

» I Hate Goodbyes...
I arrived in Auckland with two main things to do: pick up some last minute souvenirs and meet up with my friend Simon, whom Naomi and I met in Invercargill. He was on a whirlwind tour of the south island and had to go back to work in Auckland. We ha

» Can you say Whakatane?
It's pronounced "fa-ka-ta-knee". The "Wh" in Maori is prounounced "F". It took a bit getting used to when I first got here, but now I wonder how I will say some words when I get home... The town got its name from a Maori legend. The Maori came up

» Art Deco Napier
I left rainy Turangi and instantly fell asleep on the bus. When I awoke, there wasn't a cloud in the sky and I had a few Beatles' lines in my head: "Tomorrow'll be rain, so I'll follow the sun." When I got off the bus the sun and warm air felt so

» Back up the North Island
After the six day walk, and before I arrived in Wellington, I drove. I drove all the way from just outside of Queenstown to Chirstchurch. I'm not sure how far that distance is, but it took somewhere between five and six hours. We rented a relocation

» The Routeburn and Greenstone
I have successfully completed the Routeburn and Greenstone tracks. I've been in civilization one night since then, and boy am I not liking it. I cannot see any stars, let alone the Milky Way, both of which I was able to for the last 5 nights. The sm

» Mt Cook, Wanaka, and Milford Sound
Naomi and I left Christchurch and headed for Mt Cook. The rolling hills soon turned into snow covered mountains as we continued driving westward. I kept on exclaiming about the scenery so we had to pull over a few times so Naomi could see the beauty o

» Bits n Bobs
It's an English term and I love it. I've been waiting for an opportune time to use that phrase and here you have it. I keep on forgetting to write about the venison farms. All over the south island I've been noticing deer in paddocks. These deer
