I LOVE Air New Zealand! that was by far the best 13 hour period I have ever spent on a plane. First - there was an individual television screen at every seat and the in-flight entertainment started as soon as you got on the plane - not after take-off.... Read more >

The long, summer days have come to an end. The clocks have gone back, the days are shorter and the town quiets down. The bathing suit clad backpackers have retreated from the lake and moved onto the next place. The foot paths through the parks carry ... Read more >

The Southland accent can be hard to understand. Every word that contains an R sounds Scottish, while every other word sounds like the normal Kiwi accent. My level of comprehension varied from person to person. The real trick with Southlanders ... Read more >

My HelpX experiences did not end in Wanaka. After leaving the kennels, I hitched a ride down to Invercargill - a booming metropolis in the deep south of New Zealand. The Southland region is home to two types of people - sheep farmers and ... Read more >

“COOOME ON,” Mike growled at a flock of sheep packed together as tightly as a new box of Q-tips. “HAVE A LOOK,” his brother-in-law chimed in, “COME ON, HAVEALOOK!” The sheep didn’t budge, so Mike changed strategies. “GET OVER HERE,” he snarled. Almost ... Read more >

Or the long and dusty road.
This the last of our walks in NZ and the only one in the north island. It was a complete contrast to all the others as it was like walking in a primitve landscape where there was no visible sign of life. That is except ... Read more >

As we pulled into Christchurch we slammed into the back of a car and had the favor quickly returned.
Haha, a bit of a traumatic start, right?
Still, traveling this long without any major incidents, I suppose we were about due. Nobody was hurt ... Read more >

We spent two nights camping - one night on a bluff directly over a beach and one in a campground called Trotters Gully.
The beach campground was pretty amazing - Jordan was able to pull the van into a small grassy pad completely surrounded ... Read more >
