Yoga Festival and More (February 20th – February 27th)

I feel like I've been a little bit M-I-A on my blog for a while.  But I haven't been doing too much adventure-y stuff that should be shared.  I've been doing more work-exchange so that I'm not spending a fortune on accommodation.  But that's not a complaint because I love my host! 🙂 February 20th … Continue reading Yoga Festival and More (February 20th – February 27th)

Picton, New Zealand (January 26th – 29th, 2018)

January 26th Leaving Kaikoura, similar with coming into Kaikoura, you could see the landslide scars caused by the earthquakes and all the work being done to reconstruct and/or repair the roadway leading into and out of the town. Not sure why this video isn't properly oriented; my videos don't usually have issues uploading in the … Continue reading Picton, New Zealand (January 26th – 29th, 2018)

Kaikoura, New Zealand (January 24th – 25th, 2018)

Hahei & Raglan, New Zealand (December 5th – 7th)

What to say about Hahei.... I left the hostel at about 7:15am to get to the pickup spot not very far away. Our bus today was a step up from the bus to Paihia. More backpackers are heading south than north so they need larger transportation. The drive there wasn't particularly beautiful, but it was … Continue reading Hahei & Raglan, New Zealand (December 5th – 7th)
