One Month in New Zealand: My Perfect Road Trip Itinerary
I spent a very happy year living, working and road tripping around New Zealand, including five months parked up in Tongariro National Park. So when people ask me to put together a one-month New Zealand itinerary, I have some opinions. If you haven’t settled the basics yet (North or South, how many days, when to […]
The pictures they don’t want you to see
Today I’m delighted to introduce another guest post from Vera, talking all about the very fine art of travel photography. Enjoy! Mesdames, Messieurs! If you think Loz has been the only photographer I travelled with, you’re wrong. Dead wrong. There have been others. And so I have witnessed first hand (and you might already know […]

That time I nearly died in the Outback
Dear readers, it is another post by not-Loz, also known as Vera. My dad recently emailed me a link for an article published by a respected German magazine. The title was “Dangerous student trips to Australia” which instantly made my heart-rate go up: Oh god, I had been to Australia! Had I unknowingly put my […]

A short while back I was thrust into the local community spotlight via a microphone and a badly rendered version of Sonny & Cher’s “I got you babe”. My partner in crime even had her photo in the local paper as a result. This was a part of our ongoing effort to integrate into our […]
