How I prepared for my travels
I’ve known for a little while that I am going back to New Zealand. Such a buzzing feeling, because I love being there. I’m an organised person and like to plan ahead.

I don’t think New Zealand has a specific ‘haute cuisine’ like they have in France, for example, but the country has amazing foods and drinks.Continue reading “Here’s to happy taste buds!”
Hit the road, bro
You meet heaps of people when you travel, different kinds of people. That’s the beauty of it. I’ve noticed that plenty people, like me, enjoy organising things themselves when exploring a new country. I prefer using local information and there are times I don’t even open my Lonely Planet. When I visit a country I wantContinue reading “Hit the road, bro”
