After we had left the farm hostel very early that morning, we went on our way to Christchurch. We drove through Lewis Pass, a beautiful yet a bit barren landscape. There were hardly any cars out, which was nice. It was quite overcast that morning and some very interesting clouds had formed. This was aContinueContinue reading “Lewis Pass”

Cake…my idea!
Even though I’ve been eating healthier for over a year now, I can’t deny my sweet tooth! So I allow myself some good stuff every once in a while, like I’m sure many people do 😉 I love chocolate, cake, good food. Yum! The difference with before I started my health journey, is that ifContinueContinue reading “Cake…my idea!”
Unbridled wanderlust
Spring. It’s my season. Not only because I have my birthday in Spring (I’m a June kid), but also because I feel like I’m waking up from a state of hibernation. I feel like throwing my energy-saving-attitude out the window, because I feel brought back to life. Okay, that sounds a bit dramatic, haha. It’sContinueContinue reading “Unbridled wanderlust”
Farm stay? Farm nay!
Since it was too far to drive from Hopewell to Christchurch in one go, we decided to have a little stop somewhere half way. Comparing a road map with the BBH-website, I had chosen the hostel ‘Hu Ha Farmstay’, because it was in a convenient location and it had good ratings. We thought it wouldContinueContinue reading “Farm stay? Farm nay!”
Well, that was interesting!
Just before last weekend, people working in public transport announced they’d go on strike on Monday in the morning rush hour for 66 minutes. They want their pension age to stay at 66 years and not increase. Think about this what you will -I’ll probably have to keep working ’till I drop, soooo-, but aContinueContinue reading “Well, that was interesting!”
A league of their own
Sweet Hopewell. It was such a wonderful reunion. It’s no secret that I love this place and I was excited to show my mom why. She got it, I didn’t even have to explain. Hopewell is in a league of its own. ❤ Mike and Lynley were wonderful as ever. One evening they held aContinueContinue reading “A league of their own”
Best hiking shoes in the history of forever
My best buy has definitely been my Merrell Proterra Mid Waterproof shoes. They’re zero drop trail runners, but you don’t see me running no trail, haha. I have them for hiking or daily use. They are probably the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever had. I love these shoes so much and they are so amazing, thatContinueContinue reading “Best hiking shoes in the history of forever”
Let’s be completely honest
Spring is in the air and I’m loving it! As the days grow longer and the weather gets milder, I basically want one thing: to go outside and explore! I’m looking into doing some day hikes on the weekend, preferably Saturdays so I can conk out on Sunday if needed. Too many weekends are spentContinueContinue reading “Let’s be completely honest”
