One of my dreams was to go explore the beauty of Aotearoa - New Zealand, and it has now come true since March 25th 2008 and should carry on until the next year to come. Here I'll write about my (hopefully!) fabulous trip and share anecdotes and experiences as I make my way along this breathtaking land.

What I've been up to so far, and where:
