“Don’t underestimate the value of doing nothing” – Winnie the Pooh – I’m reflecting on a busy week at work. I love my job and I secretly love being busy at times too. I’ve been accomplishing things, been productive and gotten in a flow. And it feels rewarding. People are always on the go, always availableContinueContinue reading “The value of doing nothing”

Plimmerton
Our destination after Rotorua was Plimmerton, a small town on the Kapiti Coast. We stayed at Moana Lodge, a place we really enjoyed. Plimmerton showed various sides of itself: from overcast and a bit windy to a most beautiful sunset. We loved it! We also loved the kiwi Christmas decorations in the hostel and theContinueContinue reading “Plimmerton”
Rate or nah – Part 2 of 2

These are a few of my favourite things
The last ever weekly photo challenge by the Daily Post, and it’s going out with a bang! Post your all-time favourites! I can’t choose just one, so here are a few of my favourite photos from my travels through New Zealand.
You do the Hokey Pokey
Our first destination after Auckland was Hahei. I’d never been to the Coromandel before, but heard great things about it and I wanted to save travelling the area for this trip with my mom. It wasn’t too long a drive from Auckland, maybe a few hours orso. We needed to get used to the carContinueContinue reading “You do the Hokey Pokey”
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. For me, it was my fourth time to New Zealand and my fifth time flying ‘Down Under’. To be honest, it felt rather unreal to be undertaking thisContinueContinue reading “Across the world”
Hopewell
How do you start a blog post about one of your favourite places you’ve travelled to? Many times I started and deleted my first sentence, but I’m just going to start and see where it goes. Because Hopewell is a very special place, perhaps one of a kind. And if not one of a kind, thenContinueContinue reading “Hopewell”
