Flow waters of Loudwater against the Ringwraiths!” The Lord of the Rings is a series of movies I’ve utterly enjoyed. Same goes for The Hobbit movies, though I have yet to see the latest film. The whole country of New Zealand is like a film decor.ContinueContinue reading “Nîn o Chithaeglir lasto beth daer. Rimmo nîn Bruinen dan in Ulaer!”

Surprise gem of a place
This wasn’t even a place on my list of areas to visit when I was in New Zealand. My travel partner and I had spent some time in Nelson and were heading out of town and on to other places to explore. The hostel owner recommended Nelson Lakes N.P. to us. She said how beautifulContinueContinue reading “Surprise gem of a place”
The road less travelled
Trekking from hut to hut through amazing nature, enjoying the most amazing scenery along the Routeburn Track was quite invigorating. Forget the aching, forget the sweating, this is when I felt alive…and I’d do it all over again.

Last time I was in that area, I did aContinueContinue reading “Great Ocean Road”

Had I known then what I know now, I would have done a lot of things differently. I suppose that is what life is all about:ContinueContinue reading “You live, you learn”
Cloud burst
Nelson, my favourite city in New Zealand. It’s got such a great vibe and the fact that it’s one of the most sunny places in the country, helps a little…okay a lot! 🙂 Here I was in the Nelson harbour, waiting for my water taxi to Kaiteriteri to spend a day in the gorgeous AbelContinueContinue reading “Cloud burst”
Captain Kirk is climbing a mountain
Canada, dear beautiful, gorgeous Canada. So much amazing nature in Alberta, it would take me ages to see it all. Banff N.P. is huge and so incredibly stunning. I don’t remember the names of these mountains, if they have specific names. I just love the river, the trees and the backdrop of these huge, impressive,ContinueContinue reading “Captain Kirk is climbing a mountain”
