Warm colours and silhouettes

Plimmerton is a cute and conveniently located small town only a short train ride from Wellington, New Zealand. The town was a lovely surprise during my last kiwi adventure. I’d heard good things about the BBH hostel Moana Lodge and the place surely did not disappoint! The place was clean and tidy, and the owner/manager hadContinueContinue reading “Warm colours and silhouettes”

Across the world

Mid December 2017 it was finally time for mom and I to travel to New Zealand! For mom it was the first time ever flying this far.

I’d never been to the Coromandel before and I have to say I love it! We spentContinueContinue reading “Hahei Beach”

Oops, I did it again! Feat. That Wanaka Tree

Because I simply can’t get enough of New Zealand, I went back recently! From mid December 2017 to mid January 2018, my mom and I travelled through this beautiful country together. Fourth time for me, first time for her. Mom wanted to see for herself why I love this country so much, and consequently fellContinueContinue reading “Oops, I did it again! Feat. That Wanaka Tree”
