I have reached saturation point. I had the most amazing day, seeing sights of profound wonder and beauty in Milford Sound. I also am exhausted from leaving another amazing place, sitting on a bus for 8+ hours, and getting ready to jump on another 8 hour ... Read more >

Hi All. Well, I'm leaving Camp Hill, and I had a wonderful time. The universe did remind me about balance, however, as after I wrote my glowing account of my time in the mountains, we returned to a power outage thanks to a storm. So, in the rain, we unpacked ... Read more >

When you look back on life, it's those spontaneous moments, the accidents, the ones that surprise you, that will make you feel alive. It's the moments you took the leap and did the thing you were holding back on before. It's the adventure you decided ...

I'm plugged in for an hour during our grocery and supplies run into Queenstown, and I just wanted to let friends and family know that yes, I am alive. When I was picked up at the airport, I was informed that we'd be heading out to Camp Hill, passed Glenorchy ... Read more >

As a child in school, the teacher always made you write about what you want to be when you grow up.... corny as it is, “wildlife photographer” was what I wrote about. The natural world has amazed me all my life, and the concept of being able to capture ...

It seems that knowledge is a powerful thing - and it's funny when it comes in handy in the most unlikely places. The family I'm wwoofing with has a daughter who is trying to launch a in house Chef service, complete with service, multiple menus, and many ... Read more >

After a 12 hour bus ride, a short train, and a shorter drive, I arrived late in the evening at my first Wwoof Farm. I was welcomed by my hosts, a very nice family who immigrated from England a few years back, and promptly went to bed. When I woke up, ... Read more >

I woke this morning in an apartment, and all felt right with the world. The Cook Islands were great, but there's something about being in a city, moving around, buildings, traffic...also, this apt. is fantastic. I'm staying with Kirstin and Greta, two ... Read more >

I still shoot film, so I've learned to save my photos for when I catch something truly remarkable. In New Zealand, around every turn is something unlikely. You'll see purple mist rise over one hillside, and on the next you'll find ferns frosted with ...

Today I ponyed up and bought a bus ticket. I only have five days left on NZ and still want to see so much more. Hitch hiking has worked so well, but now I just want to go too far a distance in too little a time to rely on my thumb in the air (a sign ... Read more >

So I've come to the end of the New Zealand adventure. Good god. It started out so tame, with bus trips and scenery. Then it seems the lower down the southern island I got the more drinking, dancing and crazy behaviour ensued. I'd like to blame it on ... Read more >

I have had an interesting journey thus far. From Auckland to Rotorua; I consoled a trucker who just lost his job and was making his last delivery and I feed a baby milk out of its bottle while I rode with a family. In Rotorua I soaked in some thermal ... Read more >
