My roommate and I looked out the window of our dorm room and saw Mount Cook in the most amazing pink light. The sun was setting over the highest mountain in New Zealand and we headed out as fast as we could to catch the last rays of sunlight. The light was changing fast and itContinueContinue reading “The sun goes down”

Resident kaka
During my week on Stewart Island I stayed at the wonderful BBH hostel Bunkers Backpackers. It was a really cosy place with friendly people and an awesome atmosphere. It’s quickly become one of my favourite hostels in New Zealand and I highly recommend it! Every once in a while one or two kaka birds would pay theContinueContinue reading “Resident kaka”

This photo is from just outside Takaka, a small town in sunny Golden Bay. I especially love the layers in this photo. The fence, the grass, the crops, the trees and the mountains. Even the clouds pitch in to paint a pretty picture! 😉

Since I work hard for the money that I earn, I decided to treat myself a little here andContinueContinue reading “A traveller’s indulgences”
