Meanwhile, it’s almost April and yeah, it’s still freezing here and it will be for at last another week here  in Holland. Spring, where did you go? I miss you. Most people I know, know I’m not real a winter person. The whole year 25 degrees? I don’t mind! So all this snow reminded me about my awesome travels and after a few months home, it’s time to travel again.  [ Read More ]

After windy Surat Bay, I drove along the coast to Te Anau. Where famous sounds where. You know…the Milford Sound and Doubtful sound. Te Anau was a really beautiful place with a beautiful lake and the sounds in the background. It was a little town, that mostly popular was in summer because now it was almost desserted. But no worries, without the tourists it was even more beautiful The next  [ Read More ]

This morning I looked out off the window. It was mostly grey, but on the bright side….it didn’t rain.  Yeah, just another day in the fall. Falls here in the Netherlands are mostly like that. You are lucky when it doesn’t rain and really, really lucky when you see some sunshine. But the weather doesn’t get me down, or at least i’m trying, but this make me also realise that  [ Read More ]

Back home it was the middle of summer but here it was the middle of winter. In the morning it was still freezing but that didn’t matter.

It was a short drive to Lake Alexandrina and I  [ Read More ]

Teresa checked the time. Shit! It was already 11.00 am and 3.00 pm we were picked up at Pipiriki where we ended our trip. We had a quick breakfast. Not that there was much to eat…our breakfast contained of peanuts, a banana and a half mueslibar. At 11.30 am we were in the boats. They said we could expect a lot of rapids, so Tonio and me were prepared, but  [ Read More ]

I’m curently enjoying my lovely cappucino at Shaky Isles celebrating the fact that today I’m exactly 6 months at the other side of the world. How cool is that? It felt more like 2 months, but hey I’m still here and only two weeks left. Than I’m finished with my internship at Lifemark and Recreate NZ and then I can finally go travelling around New Zealand. How awesome is that?  [ Read More ]

Sometimes you don’t realise how privileged and how fortunate you are. When you’re travelling the world you see the moste amazing things and you realise you’re lucky that you are able to do this. When you’re doing an internship in a country, it’s different. Sometimes you forget that you’re even at the other side of the world. You are just living your life. But sometimes it’s good to stand still  [ Read More ]

Paradise exists in many forms. Some people find their ultimate paradise in Spain or France and for other people their ultimate paradise is cycling through Europe or Asia. But what is paradise? I think it’s for everyone totally different and for me a very hard choice. I had an amazing time in South Thailand, it looked literally like a “Bounty” Island, but tramping through the Himalaya also felt like paradis  [ Read More ]

A businesstrip. You might think boring. No way! Not in New Zealand. I was going with my colleague, Natalie to the event Sensational Selwyn. A region near Christchurch. This event is being held because a lot of people lost their homes because of the earthquakes in Christchurch and that’s why they’re now looking for homes in Selwyn, a region not far from Christchurch. We were staying outside the centre of  [ Read More ]
